Redirect citizen-infra.netlify.app to wiki.citizeninfra.org - #35
Merged
Conversation
Setting a primary custom domain in Netlify does not redirect the .netlify.app subdomain to it — both hosts kept returning 200 after the 2026-08-02 move, so the old URL stayed in circulation. force = true is required or the rule loses to the static file present at every path on the site. :splat preserves deep links instead of dumping everyone on the homepage. Closes #34

Closes #34.
After the 2026-08-02 move, both hosts served the site. Setting a primary custom domain in Netlify does not redirect the
.netlify.appsubdomain to it — a common assumption, and wrong here — so the old URL stayed live and kept circulating.Nothing was broken:
site:already points at the new domain, so both hosts emitted canonical tags towiki.citizeninfra.organd indexing consolidates correctly. This is tidiness, not a fix.The two details that matter
force = true— without it the rule loses to the static file that exists at every path on this site, and the redirect silently never fires. This is the failure mode where the config looks right and does nothing.:splat— preserves the path, so/run-reports/vtaiwan-uber/lands on its equivalent rather than the homepage. Deep links into this wiki are the ones most worth keeping alive.Verify after merge
Expected
301withlocation: https://wiki.citizeninfra.org/about/— note the path, not a bare homepage redirect.
