Legacy /legal-center URLs finally redirect to the right place
ReleasedTomislav Babic
For a while now, the old /legal-center/<project>/<page> URLs were not redirecting properly. They were 301-ing to a placeholder URL that contained the literal token :project in the path — every external backlink hitting one of those legacy URLs was effectively a 404.
Our SEO audit surfaced the problem: one fresh 404 with three inbound links, plus three "broken redirect" warnings pointing at the same path. Quietly losing inbound link equity is the kind of bug that does damage slowly, so we patched it the same day.
The fix swaps the named-parameter redirect for the proper wildcard pattern. Old URLs land on the right canonical page, link equity is preserved, and our backlink profile stops bleeding.
