| Jan 23 at 13:46 | comment | added | Tetsujin | I'm wondering if this should be raised on main Meta to draw attention to the proposed fix method. As it's bound to relate to more than one stack, it would seem appropriate. | |

Can this bulk replacement tool automatically update each URL to the one it redirects to, or does this have to be a simple change like /osx/ to /mac/? I ask because I've done a lot of URL update edits, typically where a docs.microsoft.com (or other subdomain) URL redirected to a learn.microsoft.com URL. My reasoning is that a redirecting link today might be a broken one tomorrow, and there have been MS links in the past which have become broken after site rearrangements. But if there's an automated tool that could do all this site-wide...

Maybe if a mod could tag this as status-review it would bring it to the attention of the powers that be, to consider. There are probably links on AD & SO too, so it needs someone with a global overview.

I'm guessing it's just future proofing. The /osx links auto-redirect to /mac, so at the very least the benefit is saving a redirect. But if there are lots of links it would save a lot of of time to have them updated by the bulk replacement tool that CMs have access to, rather than manually editing them. (I believe the threshold for using the tool is 50 potential replacements)
