It appears that at some point in the recent (distant? I don't know) past, Memory Alpha changed its domain from memory-alpha.wikia.com
to memory-alpha.fandom.com
. Given the copious number of times links to that site appear in questions and answers on SciFi.SE, is it possible to fix them all with some kind of global find/replace?
I am assuming that "wikia" has changed its name to "fandom". wikia.com
is successfully redirecting to fandom.com
so I don't know why the MA URLs aren't.
wikia.com
moved tofandom.com
at some point so it affects more than just Memory Alpha. There is a redirect up still at the moment, not sure if it's up indefinitely or not though.wikia
still redirect tofandom
? Or do we really have zillions of dead links now? (2) Last time something like this happened, we successfully appealed for support from SE. If the links are easy to change by a short piece of code at the database level, we can ask them again - much easier than editing thousands of posts manually!wikia
links work for me. Problem on your end maybe?wikia.org
rather thanfandom.com
. If a global rewrite script is created, it will have to avoid those specific wikis.
