Wikivoyage.org mobile redirect leads to non existing pages
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Originally reported (as far as I know ) at http://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Wikivoyage:Travellers%27_pub#Android:_wikivoyage.org_redirects_to_www.m.wikivoyage.org_which_does_not_exist

Essentially google still finds www.wikivoyage.org urls for some of it's searches (I assume because of old link juice) especially if you're looking for wikivoyage specific urls with a "wikivoyage X" type search. The easiest search to use to recreate the issue is "wikivoyage austria" (I've tried a couple other searches and don't always have the issue this one is pretty consistent).

This is fine for the desktop site because www.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Austraia redirects to en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Austria (or possibly other languages depending on where you come from). However on mobile this redirects to www.m.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Austraia which does not exist and so finishes at a dead end page.
