'mul' is exactly what we ought to be using and ''if necessary'' the whole
project should be moved to mul.wikisource.org with nothing but the navigational
mainpage on the higher level domain. That would also avoid messing up current
links that were created under the current system (a user who made a mistake and
wrote [[oldwikisource:]] when they meant [[:oldwikisource:]] wouldn't notice it
now and might have even considered the latter unnecessary because they knew the
two do the same thing).
"mul.ws" is generally understood by regulars of the oldwikisource community and
major subdomains as == www.wikisource.org
"old" is really an insulting name for the project that has many works on it
that will never move to a subdomain and also some that belong to a valid
subdomain but are in scope at oldwikisource due to copyright issues (see
http://wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:Copyrights#Works_that_are_in_the_public_domain_in_the_US_only).
The project is also used for a lot of general wikisource coordination and
development and many pages need interwiki links to and from. "From" is no
problem but "to" is a serious issue and the lack of this capability greatly
hinders inter-subdomain work.
Brion's comment that he isn't sure why it ever happened is well taken, the
whole thing is a mess technically, especially with multilingual works.
However, it relates to decisions about non-English speaking communities more
than what was technically best.
I'm really surprised this bug was just created last month and I thank Candalua
for finally bringing this forward for us.
