They are published on the old ones. The old ones don't all get shut down simultaneously.

Would be fairly easy for them to offer an onion service on which they publish the current list of domains, as one option among many, many options for distributing small strings on the internet in an uncensorable way.

the beauty of wikipedia as dns is its easy access, are there similarly easily accessible uncensorable ways?

Ideally it is common knowledge that the onion service exists, and then people can go look at the onion service and update Wikipedia based on what they see there.

Also onion doesn't require a domain register

Does it matter? It's not illegal to update an article with a new domain.

Yes it does matter. Users need to know that the updated URL is correct and trustworthy.

This is Wikipedia.

For that type of publishing please use Encyclopedia Britannica.

You will get the url in the 2027 edition on print.
