Then people making links can link the versions link and it won't die if we rearrange doc pages (and it will clearly say what the link is).\r\n\r\nThe proper way to do this would be with an .htaccess file, but GitHub pages doesn't support that.  \r\n\r\nSo far, looks like we can't do this with soft links.\r\n\r\nWe could do with http-equiv redirect.  But that has to be in the header of each file which kind of means having two versions of the docs lying around doing the same thing, but with one version pointing to the canonical version.   https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/H76.html\r\n\r\nAnother option is to migrate to readthedocs https://readthedocs.org","author":{"url":"https://github.com/jklymak","@type":"Person","name":"jklymak"},"datePublished":"2019-03-01T02:40:44.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":4},"url":"https://github.com/35/matplotlib.github.com/issues/35"}
