Nope, not working. Clicked wrong link. :)
Still waiting on the nameservers to get updated.

This is not a bug. Taken care of by the office, this is about renewal. It will
still take a while to be fixed, but it's in the pipe. Ping me if it hasn't
happened in a month from now. :P

I'm reopening this because http://www.wikispecies.org seems to be broken. Has WMF succeeded in gaining control of this domain in 2007? Or did it drop off WMF's radar?
The domain has been under the Foundation's control since June 2013 (or at least WHOIS reports it as being so).
I'm CC-ing Daniel Zahn (@Dzahn), who I remember used to take care of similar requests in the past; as far as I know, a simple patch in operation/dns should do the trick, but might require filing a ticket with RT :-)
Change 207149 had a related patch set uploaded (by John F. Lewis):
add symlink species.org->wikimedia.com
From what I can see, redirects exist but the domain is non-existent in the DNS entries. Added it as a symlink to wikimedia.com so the redirects will pick up and start working making the domain exist and work.
