I think that a server change is already "complicated" enough for this wiki and its users. I do not think it should be made more complex or complicated by opening the discussion about the new name at the same time. I prefer to get a new name ending on .wiki, but I would not like to complicate the situation, because from my experience with this wiki and its community, this will most likely lead to one of those so called "endless discussions". If one would like to get anything done, one has to keep it as simple as possible in order to get any kind of result within a reasonable time here. Therefore I request You to "keep it simple". Please also take into consideration, that a change of name inevitably rises a new-logo debate which obviously would become even more emotional than a "simple" name discussion! I would strongly prefer to avoid such a three-tire discussion right now (move-name-logo). Move is complex enough, really. It includes extensions and backup and cleaning the user list. The later is already very difficult to solve.

== Domain redirection from WikiIndex.com to .org == | |||
Hi, Ray! Many old Fandom (Wikia) sites still have [[wikiindex:]] interwiki link set to http://wikiindex.com/$1. For examples, see [https://cities.fandom.com/api.php?siprop=interwikimap&action=query&meta=siteinfo cities.fandom] (a.k.a. [[Cities Wiki]]), [https://list.fandom.com/api.php?siprop=interwikimap&action=query&meta=siteinfo list.fandom] ([[WikiLists]]) and the ''Star Trek'' wiki, [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/api.php?siprop=interwikimap&action=query&meta=siteinfo memory-alpha.fandom] ([[Memory Alpha]]). | |||
<u>The problem is, https://wikiindex.com/aaaa or any URL to dot-com with any subpage just redirects to the homepage (https://wikiindex.org). Thoughts on fixing how that domain redirection is set up?</u> Cooperating with Fandom doesn't really work since they're generally hostile to linking to outside wikis, so the ball is on our court to take advantage of already existing interwikis from a simpler time. —[[User:AStranger195|AStranger195]] ([[User talk:AStranger195|talk]]) 11:39, 27 March 2023 (UTC) | |||
