When I open http://uk.wikimedia.org on my mobile phone I get redirected to http://uk.m.wikimedia.org . That's an invalid site url: >host uk.m.wikimedia.org Host uk.m.wikimedia.org not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) So I'm unable to browse this site on my phone. Other chapter sites might be affected too, but didn't test this.
At the outset, this isn't a mobile specific problem. I'd suspect if they actually resolved to the correct place, they would likely work For starters, there are missing *.m.wikimedia.org dns entries for numerous *.wikimedia.org sites (office is fine, board, ar, uk..)
To get ready for the DNS change or to fix after the change is made see [[m:Mobile Projects/Mobile Gateway#How do I format a mobile homepage?]]
ok, link didn't work ;-( let's see about this one [[Mobile Gateway#How do I format a mobile homepage.3F]] ( https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Projects/Mobile_Gateway#How_do_I_format_a_mobile_homepage.3F )
This is also the case with the Chapters/Affiliations Committee internal wiki, https://chapcom.wikimedia.org, which redirects to an invalid URL chapcom.m.wikimedia.org. I also tested this with pl.wikimedia.org, with the same result (apparently a missing DNS entry for pl.m.wikimedia.org).
This is rather visible for a subset of our userbase - setting priority to High.

This bug is quite annoying (and hard to get around) when one runs into it. > For starters, there are missing *.m.wikimedia.org dns entries for numerous > *.wikimedia.org sites (office is fine, board, ar, uk..) What does this mean for resolving the problem? Is the fix simply adding one dns entry per wiki for a more complete list of wikis? Is that full list online somewhere?

There is already an RT ticket filed, requesting this from the ops team: https://rt.wikimedia.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=3661 More up-to-date details can be found in the recent thread on wikitech-l: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2012-October/064026.html
This seems to be resolved. I'll therefore RESOLVED FIXED, but perhaps someone with access to the RT display could confirm that all requested changes have been made and not just some.
Sorry, but this has in no way been resolved; neither uk.m.wikimedia.org nor chapcom.m.wikimedia.org (the two domains that have been mentioned above) work properly: Host uk.m.wikimedia.org not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) Host chapcom.m.wikimedia.org not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) I am therefore re-opening this bug, and awaiting comments from people with access to the RT ticket.

Hmm, sorry, I see what you mean. The domains don't exist, but we don't still redirect to them -- I still had in mind the latter (the description for bug #41334, which was closed as a duplicate of this one) rather than the former (which is the actual description of this one). My bad.
(In reply to comment #11) > neither uk.m.wikimedia.org nor chapcom.m.wikimedia.org work properly Still confirming.

RT #8814 created. This needs to be fixed as soon as possible.
Change 171475 had a related patch set uploaded by Dzahn: add missing mobile DNS entries https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/171475
Change 171475 merged by Dzahn: add missing mobile DNS entries https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/171475
I just added these to DNS: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/171475/5/templates/wikimedia.org
the next step here now is to go through the list of wikis i added above, and check each of them if they are ready for mobile or not, then compile a list where people should be redirected, make mobile team redirect them
it might help if somebody feels like compiling a new target list of users/wiki pages that match this, then uses mass message to ask the wiki admins if they want mobile https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_message_delivery/Targets/Wikidata
