            Bug ID: 5959
           Summary: SSL certificate error when visiting old wiki links to
                    https://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/
           Product: Mercurial project
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: bug
          Priority: wish
         Component: wiki
          Assignee: bugzilla at mercurial-scm.org
          Reporter: mars at mozilla.com
                CC: mercurial-devel at mercurial-scm.org

People who try to visit project pages from old links on external sites can end
up going through https://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/ instead of
https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/.  They are blocked by a very loud and
deliberately scary "Potential Security Risk Ahead" warning in Firefox because
of an invalid SSL certificate.  It's jarring, tedious to override, and made me
wonder if the project website had been hacked or something.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Visit an old Stack Overflow answer like
https://serverfault.com/a/202099/163662
2. Click any of the links to the Mercurial project wiki

Expected result:

I should end up at the main project wiki at https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/

Actual result:

Big Scary Security Warning.  And I'm taken to
https://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/ instead of
https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/.
