Description Titoxd 2009-08-30 19:07:09 UTC
As reported in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Computing#Commons.3F, typing *.wikimediacommons.org in a browser address bar silently forwards the request to en.wikipedia.org. It would probably make more sense if it were sent to commons.wikimedia.org instead...
Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2009-09-03 01:10:59 UTC
Probably needs a regex entry fixed or added in redirects.conf.
Comment 2 Fred Vassard 2009-09-11 18:36:19 UTC
The redirect indeed had a couple problems:
Use to be

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ([a-z]+)\.wikimediacommons.(net|info|mobi|eu)
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://commons.wikimedia.org/$1 [R=301,L]

Now is 

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ([a-z]+).wikimediacommons.(net|info|mobi|eu|org)
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://commons.wikimedia.org$1 [R=301,L]

Sadly, the rewrites are cached, so it might take a while before the change takes effect. 
However, the problem should be fixed once the cache expires.
