Description Ben Hartshorne 2011-10-27 23:24:48 UTC 
Steps to recreate, first on a desktop (to see correct operation) then on a mobile device (to see the fail).

1) enter 'wikipedia.org' or 'wikipedia.com' into your URL bar
2) let the front page load (it will redirect you to 'www.wikipedia.org')
3) add 'wiki/Defenestrate' to the end of the URL to get 'www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defenestrate'
4a) on a Desktop browser, note that you land at 'en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defenestrate'
4b) on an iPhone, you get redirected to 'www.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defenestrate' and an error "Cannot open page; Safari cannot open the page because the server cannot be found."  Sure enough, www.m.wikipedia.org does not resolve in DNS.

Somewhere a rewrite rule is doing the wrong thing.

This still appears to be a problem
Comment 2 Thehelpfulone 2012-05-10 00:32:36 UTC 
Seems to work now.
