readthedocs.org: Page Redirects no longer work
Page Redirects as documented here are no longer working.
For example, a redirect exists that maps /getting-started.html to /getting-started/overview.html. Visiting docs.smartthings.com/en/latest/getting-started.html does not redirect; it simply 404’s.

I think the problem here (or at least part of it…) is that the slash at the beginning of the URL is required. The ‘Outcome’ panel at the bottom of the form wrongly adds an extra slash, which will inevitably prompt users to correct it by removing the slash from their input fields:
(I notice @joschi’s screenshot above is missing the leading slashes, which is probably why those redirects aren’t working…)
