WikiIndex:Proposal: domain name change

Are we going to change our domain name from WikiIndex.org?

Maybe, maybe not. This page is to discuss the options and grow a community consensus.

When would the change occur if we decide to make a change?

Now that the WikiIndex:ServerMove is complete, we'd change the name once a community consensus on the name has been developed.

Can we move to Index.Wiki or another domain name?

Yes. Index.Wiki is reserved by Top Level Design (the .wiki registry) and is available for use by this community if desired.

Are there any other candidates for the move? This seems like the most natural name. BrandonCsSanders (talk) 18:45, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

If we move to another domain name, would the old domain be kept and forwarded?

I'll let Brandon answer in more detail, but I assume that a requisite for changing domains would be 301 redirecting each page of the old site to the corresponding new site so that no search engine love is lost Raymond King | talk

Yes, we would redirect all traffic to the new domain name. -- BrandonCsSanders (talk) 20:54, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

For what it's worth I don't think there actually is any org behind the site (other than the users but that's true of any wiki). Koavf (talk) 06:12, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

I think it is mainly a question of a known domain and URLs directing to it. Those should not point into the nothingness. Manorainjan (talk)

All existing links on WikiIndex.org will 301 redirect to their counterparts on Index.Wiki. BrandonCsSanders (talk) 18:46, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
