Continuing the discussion from [Permalink normalizations don't work for internal links](https://meta.discourse.org/t/permalink-normalizations-dont-work-for-internal-links/57899/23):

We prefer the term “conduct” as in Code of Conduct, and we added a permalink /conduct to go to /guidelines. That works from external links, but not internally. There’s no way to allow this?

Thing is: We call the page “Code of Conduct” and we have a different topic of “extra healthy discussion guidelines” for the good-advice that isn’t the CoC… and so, telling everyone to remember to use /guidelines when they want to link to the CoC is confusing. We’d like to be able to tell everyone that they can always link to /conduct. But if that fails internally, it’s not so usable…

I would wish that we _could_ rename /guidelines URL or rather (to avoid breaking anything) have permalinks work internally.
