We're going to have a lot more elections, so probably best to move them somewhere sensible...

I’ve wanted to do this exact thing for a while, but I’m worried about all of the old links the point to these pages. The problem is that we have no way of setting up redirects through the wiki, only through Cloudflare and finding time to coordinate with. @AlmaLinux/infrastructure-sig has been hard. The number of broken links we’ll create with these specific changes is probably minimal, but it’s something that we want to keep in mind with future changes.

@alexiri can you explain a bit about how the redirects you’ve set up here work?

That magic basically creates at build time some pages in the old location that look like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=/foundation/elections/2025.html">
<link rel="canonical" href="/foundation/elections/2025.html">
<meta name="robots" content="noindex">
<title>Page moved</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>This page has moved to <a href="/foundation/elections/2025.html">/foundation/elections/2025.html</a>.</p>
</body>
</html>

Then the client browser gets redirected to the new page when it opens the old link.

@alexiri Sweet! I like it. Can you add a quick documentation note about how we do redirections to the README and then I can approve and merge this?
