sphinx-reredirects

The extension for Sphinx documentation projects that handle redirects for moved pages. It generates HTML pages with meta refresh redirects to the new page location to prevent 404 errors if you rename or move your documents.

The sphinx-reredirects started from the urge to manage redirects for all documents after moving our Tech writer at work blog to the new address at https://documatt.com/blog/.

Prevents 404 errors · Wildcard matching · Dynamic placeholders
Cross-domain redirects · Centralized configuration in conf.py
Easy to use · Works seamlessly with Sphinx

Good URLs are never changing URLs. But if you must, sphinx-reredirects helps you manage redirects with ease and from a single place in the project's conf.py.

For example, if you rename document start to intro, and tell it to sphinx-reredirects, it will generate the HTML page start.html with client-side redirect (requires no server-side configuration).

The extension supports wildcards and moving to different domains, too.
