who updates wikipedia with the new domains? how do they know the new ones?
reply
They are published on the old ones. The old ones don't all get shut down simultaneously.

So old school! They gonna release an MCP?

Would be fairly easy for them to offer an onion service on which they publish the current list of domains, as one option among many, many options for distributing small strings on the internet in an uncensorable way.
reply
the beauty of wikipedia as dns is its easy access, are there similarly easily accessible uncensorable ways?
reply
Ideally it is common knowledge that the onion service exists, and then people can go look at the onion service and update Wikipedia based on what they see there.
reply
Also onion doesn't require a domain register

While true, most people don’t (and won’t ever) know how to use it. But enough will to keep Wikipedia updated I suppose.
reply
Does it matter? It's not illegal to update an article with a new domain.
reply
Yes it does matter. Users need to know that the updated URL is correct and trustworthy.

This is Wikipedia.

For that type of publishing please use Encyclopedia Britannica.

You will get the url in the 2027 edition on print.
