Rename slug of my project

[vnmabus]

Hello,

Per #5403, it seems I can ask here if I want to rename a slug.

I currently have the page https://fda.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ . However, we changed the name of our project to brand it as a scikit. Would it be possible to have the documentation in https://scikit-fda.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ ?

Ideally I would want that the old page redirects to the new one, in order not to break the Internet.

Thanks in advance

Sure, we can definitely do that. I will get the redirects setup and deployed next week. 👍

Please reopen this, at it is still pending.

[ericholscher]

Bah, sorry for the delay here, do you still want this done?

[vnmabus]

Yes, please.

Just as a note, this will break all current links to the project. Hopefully in the near future we should be able to support automatic renaming & redirects, but currently it's all manual.

I can probably set them up in nginx for now, but it might break in the future.

Hum, I though that it was possible to redirect the old url to the new one. I do not want to break existing links 😢.

Which information is needed?

@vnmabus if you don't have anything like very complex settings in the admin, you can just create a new project with that name and delete the old one. But that wouldn't make a redirect for the other project.

[vnmabus]

Yeah, but that is the thing... I do not want to break existing links.

If you re-import your project under the new name, you can create an Exact redirect with $rest in the old project pointing to the new URL. See https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user-defined-redirects.html#exact-redirects

@humitos those would only work on 404

I'm closing this. It's a duplicate of #2267
