Hi Lea, That’s exactly why I created the wpd.mx shortlink service some time ago! :) In short it redirects wpd.mx/article to docs.webplatform.org/wiki/article + some other cool stuff! Some examples from the README: <http://wpd.mx/> http://wpd.mx -> <http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/Main_Page> http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/Main_Page <http://wpd.mx/tasks> http://wpd.mx/tasks -> <http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/WPD:Most_Wanted_Tasks> http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/WPD:Most_Wanted_Tasks <http://wpd.mx/apis/canvas> http://wpd.mx/apis/canvas -> <http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/apis/canvas> http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/apis/canvas <http://wpd.mx/gradient> http://wpd.mx/gradient -> Search for "gradient" Also see my mail about the configuration on GitHub here: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webplatform/2013Feb/0019.html -fro Von: Lea Verou [mailto:lea@w3.org] Gesendet: Dienstag, 19.

I was wondering if we could set up redirects for the top level paths (e.g. /css, /html, /svg etc) which redirect to the URL with the /wiki part so that for example [1] becomes [2]. Doug likes the idea but is concerned about potential SEO implications. I think that if we do it with 301 redirects it will be fine for SEO, but I might be wrong (?). Denis, is it possible? I think it could be done with a few rules in the .htaccess, perhaps without even having to explicitly list all the top level categories (i.e. test if the path starts with /wiki and if not, add it). Everyone else, do you think it's a good idea? Cheers, Lea [1]: http://docs.webplatform.org/svg/elements/mask [2]: http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/svg/elements/mask ?
