I have a list of external URLs that I want to forward to my community. The list will be umpteen and ever-growing, but a small subset is, say: security/advisories/ADV-2024-003 security/advisories/ADV-2022-002 security/advisories/ADV-2025-005 How can I create permalinks that can account for any case? e.g. if they navigate to security/advisories/adv-2025-005, it would still take them to that topic?

If you prefer, you can write the following, it gives the same result. You can use: /security\/advisories\/[aA][dD][vV]-(\d+-\d+)/security/advisories/adv-\1 Then: [image]

I could not find any decent tricks, but there is a possible way to use the Permalink normalizations setting. You could do, for example: [This image shows an example of a monitored entry/export request involving game stats, specifically normalizations and permalinks. (Captioned by AI)] /security\/advisories\/[aA][dD][vV]-(\d+-\d+)/s-adv-\1 It transforms security/advisories/ADV-2024-003 security/advisories/adv-2024-003 security/advisories/aDv-2024-003 … → s-adv-2024-003 Then, you create a redirect with it: [image] Would it work for you?

[image] Arkshine: /security\/advisories\/[aA][dD][vV]-(\d+-\d+)/s-adv-\1 I would still want the permalink to ultimately be: security/advisories/{advisory, I wouldn’t want it to be shorter.

This worked perfectly, so long as my permalinks start out lowercase like this. Thank you!
