To make it more findable and typo-proof.

Well, if you're going to do it for Wikipedia, you may as well do it for the other families as well.

Not necessarily: it's mostly to solve a typo/guessing issue that probably won't happen for the other projects; but then again, extra redirects would mean cause no harm, so whatever the ops decide is fine with me.

Comment 5 Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2013-03-16 21:12:52 UTC

The request has been rejected. That adds more and more confusion to the user. Basically wikipedia.org is only for the projects,  wikimedia.org for all the rest.

Comment 6 Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2013-03-16 21:26:05 UTC

(additionally, the status page is hosted on a third party website, pointing a *.wikipedia.org entry to them would potentially allow the third party to leak cookies)
