iirc those are hardcoded and there is no interface in discourse to edit those routes or create new such routes.

If your goal is just to have a few additional static pages and don’t care much about the url, You can use [Page Publishing](https://meta.discourse.org/t/page-publishing/151971) which lets you set topics as static pages which you can also make visible to anonymous users.
