First, I don't think it is great to redirect an existing project to a new project. Even if the original project is defunct. It would be better to have this as an extract project maybe? That being said, taginfo has been scraping wikidata for a while, see |

The existing URL for wikidata.org has been broken for several months, see taginfo/taginfo#480 for background info. "Broken" meaning that only the 3787 tags are included in the taginfo project file, but all 846 keys are missing (example), since keys use the new property
P13786.Most tools that rely on these wikidata properties have already updated their code. However, this https://tools.wmflabs.org/wp-world/wikidata/tags.php script is still broken, and I did not get a reply from the maintainer, who seems to be less active on wikipedia these days. The php code also appears to be closed source, and I can't find where/how/who could help to update it.
As a (temporary?) solution, I've created a new script at k-yle/wikidata-taginfo-link and updated the URL to point to this script... i'm not sure how else to solve this problem...
