Summary

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.
