Per bug 11125, this page [1] appears on subdomains of Wikidata, such as http://aa.wikidata.org. It should be replaced with the contents of [2]. (No need for automatic loading or anything fancy - it should just be copied across and committed into the repository.) [1] https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/gitweb?p=operations/mediawiki-config.git;a=blob;f=docroot/default/index.html [2] http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_missing_site_template
There is existing missing.php which should be the only handler for missing pages. Obviously it needs to be updated to handle wikidata domain too as well as servers for wikidata.org should serve this instead of that one pulled from meta.
My point here is that the ancient, ugly index.html page is sitting in the repo, and is still getting used whenever a new site is set up (which recently happened for Wikidata). It should either be updated, or removed altogether and replaced with a better infrastructure.

I'm not sure Wikidata is going to be using subdomains for anything (especially not per language code or anything).. This needs clarifying, and possibly just make all subdomains redirect to the www. or someting

(In reply to comment #5) > The current status is here: > http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Notes/URI_scheme So based on that, we should have any and all subdomains redirect unconditionally to wikidata.org, rather than the page from meta which isn't correct
This bug can be resolved, as subdomains of wikidata.org now redirects to wikidata.org. Any ongoing discussions about the use of missing.php and other error handling files should continue on bug 38013.
