Soon, I’ll be replacing my Wordpress site with Discourse. Rather than set up a Permalink _**(or simple 301 redirect)**_ for each URL individually, can I setup a wildcard to capture multiple pages at once? If not, is there a way I can import this data to speed up the process?

_Example scenario:_

| Old Wordpress URLs | Discourse Topic ID |
| --- | --- |
| `/example-a` | 100 |
| `/example-a/example1.html` | 100 |
| `/example-a/example2.html` | 100 |
| `/example-a/example3.html` | 100 |
| `/example-a/example4.html` | 100 |
| `/example-b` | 200 |
| `/example-b/example1.html` | 200 |
| `/example-b/example2.html` | 200 |
| `/example-b/example3.html` | 200 |
| `/example-b/example4.html` | 200 |

_Visually:_

Therefore any URL starting “`example-a`” would go to `100` and “`example-b`” would go to `200`
