Can you tell us where you saw the LINK to that page? If there is a link in another page in the site, then we will fix it. If not, then I'm afraid you will simply have to update your bookmarks to point at the correct wiki address, which is https://wiki.ubuntu.com

Oh, I see. A link to this page is in the default firefox bookmarks in Ubuntu. I'll open a task on firefox so we can resolve that.

We need to insert a redirect in the website to ensure that this bug doesn't continue to be reported. I don't know yet how to do that with the new software.

This is now fixed, all links to ubuntu.com/wiki/Page will redirect to wiki.ubuntu.com.

[Matthew East (mdke)]

Alexander - the link in firefox is still out of date, it's best to update it.

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

Sorry for me being a bot, but would be nice if you can tell me what link i should change to target?

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

ok, i will ubuntulinux.org/wiki/FrontPage -> wiki.ubuntu.com
+
www.ubuntulinux.org -> www.ubuntu.com

[Matthew East (mdke)]

That's right, thanks.
