# {{Oppose}} The timing of this proposal is quite unfortunate since the domain was just renewed and paid for a few days ago. I don't believe wasting money is a good idea and we've had this domain for 7.5 years now so another year wouldn't hurt. Otherwise this discussion was had at launch and it was thought that it would be more appealing to have a custom domain rather than just have "test.miraheze.org" which could appear as just being a test wiki in the sense of sysadmins testing stuff, kind of like what Beta is. Either way, if this would be done I'd suggest at least waiting till the domain expiry so the money wasn't spent for nothing. As for claims that custom domains "don't work well", I haven't encountered any issues with domains so I'm not sure where that's coming from.

#: But you supported test wiki becoming an official Miraheze project. That can't happen if the domain doesn't move to Miraheze. As for paying for the domain, this is a slightly more valid issue, however, the flipside is that the domain was renewed without consensus to do so, so they essentially took a gamble on spending their own money. So, do you oppose changing the domain, or do you support it becoming a Miraheze project? It can't be both. [[User:Naleksuh|Naleksuh]] ([[User talk:Naleksuh|talk]]) 18:57, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
#:: Also, the money wouldn't be "spent for nothing" because the redirect would still work but in reverse. [[User:Naleksuh|Naleksuh]] ([[User talk:Naleksuh|talk]]) 18:58, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
