Redirects

From an elastic.co/guide page

The web team owns redirects for elastic.co. Writers do not have direct access to the system where www.elastic.co redirects are managed.

Currently the only way to implement true redirects from a page on elastic.co/guide is to open an issue with the web team, add your request to a Google Sheet, and wait for the web team to address your request.

Writers have developed a stopgap to communicate to users that content has been removed or moved to another location. We create a page at the existing URL that links to the new location of the information. This is better than removing a page without redirecting at all, but is not the best user experience and doesn't align with SEO best practices.

From an elastic.co/docs page

STRATEGY TBD

  • Docs inventory script: https://github.com/elastic/docs-helpers/tree/main/docs-inventory
  • Docs inventory sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LfPI3TZqdpONGxOmL8B8V-Feo1flLwObz9_ibCEMkIQ/edit?gid=605983744#gid=605983744

This sheet will be used to request redirects after migration from 8.current to 9.current.
