Show HN: DNS over Wikipedia

Nice work! Sometimes I seem to be directed to a wikipedia page as opposed to a URL. For example, with `aaronsw.idk` or `google.idk`. I wonder why that's the case?

I think it directs to the correct link when it is labeled `URL` in wiki. In the other cases the link is labeled `Website`.

This was exactly the issue! I just pushed fixes for this problem.

I've written a userscript[0] before regarding official websites and I feel this is the hierarchy you should be using:

1. Try getting the Wikidata "official website" property

2. Then any link inside of a {{url}} template or |website= in an infobox

3. And if you really want to try to get something to resolve to, the first site wrapped in {{official website}}

If you need code to reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Opencooper/domainRedirect...

Is this inconsistency intended?
