RS Wiki Redirector Extension

Redirects all requests to oldschoolrunescape.wikia.com, runescapeclassic.wikia.com and runescape.wikia.com to the new websites at runescape.wiki, classic.runescape.wiki and oldschool.runescape.wiki respectively.

See https://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Leaving_Wikia for why the domain name change occurred.

Note: this works with subdomains such as rs.wikia.com, osrs.wikia.com, 2007.runescape.wikia.com, as those just redirect to the previously mentioned addresses anyways.

Cedric Knapp (ID: 0000003b4e829b46) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/27/2019 Works perfectly! Thanks for creating this! Guess the only thing I worry about would be data collection since the extension has access to all sites you visit. (obviously I understand this permission is probably necessary in order for the extension to work properly) The thought of data being collected/monitored is the only drawback to using this for me.
