Links on most MeiliSearch resources have been fixed to point to the new documentation paths, however links from outside our ecosystem will remain broken until we create a redirect.

Will try to solve this problem w/ Netlify.

Vuepress has an option for that:

vuejs/vuepress#239

Which would be simply here for us:

@bidoubiwa After doing some further research, not sure that this will solve the problem.

As an example, try going to https://docs.meilisearch.com/error/. You will get a 404, but if you refresh, the correct page will load. When you first visit the page, the redirect triggers and changes the URL to https://docs.meilisearch.com/errors/ (the correct link). However, the correct page does not render so users still see the 404. See: vuejs/vuepress#160
