Strugglehouse (talk · contribs) changed the harrypotter.com URL in the infobox from "https://www.harrypotter.com/" to "https://harrypotter.com" saying Removing unnecessary "www." from website URL. After being reverted by me with the edit summary "www" is not unnecessary: the canonical URL is "https://www.harrypotter.com/", they reverted me, with the edit summary Absolutely no point in having this if the URL resolves without it.

If you check the web page source, you will see that the canonical URL contains "www", and it is common practice among webmasters and search engines to use the canonical URL and not some other URL that redirects to it (the name does resolve, but the web server has to redirect). So, imo, Strugglehouse's change is unnecessary – pointless, even – and incorrect. Esowteric + Talk + Breadcrumbs 10:15, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Esowteric I disagree. The "www." is only needed if the website doesn't work without it. It adds unnecessary clutter to the infobox and looks less appealing. Multiple infobox documentation, including Template:Infobox company and Template:Infobox station, states "Do not include the leading www. unless the URL will not resolve without it." Therefore, it is completely unnecessary to include it unless required for the URL to function. Strugglehouse (talk) 10:28, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I see. Well, if that's what the guidance says, then you're correct. Thanks. It's just that it creates work for the web server and the browser. Eg from an Apache virtualhost or .htaccess file, it may require a 301 redirect:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%1/$1 [R=301,L]

@Esowteric I understand. Thanks. I'm just following what guidance says and what seems to work best. Strugglehouse (talk) 11:27, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I see that no one has updated the TV series part. 2806:250:414:BED0:CC3F:3040:5203:416F (talk) 05:52, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
