en.wikipedia.org doesn't redirect to any wikiless instances.

Open amogusussy opened this issue 3 years ago • 16 comments

Wikipedia redirects all links to links with your language in the URL, stopping this extension from redirecting you to wikiless. For example, if you wanted to go to https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThinkPad, it would redirect you to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThinkPad. Which stops the extension from detecting it as a wikipedia link. Could you make it so that all.wikipedia.org redirects to wikiless? Thank you.

When I click https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThinkPad it redirects me to https://wikiless.org/wiki/ThinkPad just fine

IIRC, Wikipedia redirects are turned off by default.

You need to manually turn it on for redirection to work. Hope it helps.

I too am experiencing this issue. I have disabled all other add-ons and extensions and tested it and the issue still persists.

I can confirm that wikipedia.org links are redirecting to en.wikipedia.org (even after deleting all cookies for wikipedia.org) and it appears that this might be causing the issue. I have turned on wikipedia redirects in the libredirect settings and also added the toggle in the pop-up menu, for completion.

@iwakuraSSBM Can you make a screen capture and put it here ?

I've just realized that I've forgot to turn the wikipedia redirection on in the settings. it works now.

As you can see the page is resolving to en.wikipedia.org but curiously it presents a wikiless icon. uMatrix shows that all the wikiless instances are trying to be loaded but the redirect should happen before this page is ever reached. Here's another shot where libredirect is the only add-on working.

Toggling all the wikipedia entries off and then back on one at time did not solve anything either.

I am off from LR team. @ManeraKai will assist you.

Does Disabling the extension completely fix this for you?

ManeraKai avatar Aug 02 '22 14:08 ManeraKai

@ManeraKai Both disabling wikipedia in libredit and disabling the extension completely allows wikipedia to load normally.

It's working for me even in incognito mode. Go to about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox => Inspect for LibRedirect.

Here's the console output, you can see it is trying to redirect all the calls for resources, scripts, css etc but never the main url. 2022-08-03-154712_1907x946_scrot

It's so similar to this one: https://github.com/libredirect/libredirect/issues/110

I tried to remove all site data related to anything wikipedia or wikiless related and the issue still persists.

iwakuraSSBM avatar Aug 08 '22 10:08 iwakuraSSBM

@iwakuraSSBM Can you check in v2.3.0 and v2.3.1 (pull from source) ?

IkelAtomig avatar Oct 15 '22 02:10 IkelAtomig

It seems like using uMatrix is causing this issue. uMatrix is unmaintained. I suggest you to remove it and see if the redirects works.

Better use uBlock Origin in Medium mode alone.

We are closing this issue as it is stale and no reply from author. Would be great to know if the issue is fixed.
