Make links backwards compatible (mostly by adding old toki)

[alifeee]

For as many as I can think of, the links should be backwards compatible.

This could either be done using eleventy's permalink option, or redirects

Redirects would usually be done on the server [citation needed], and we can't do them on GitHub pages [citation needed]

However, we can make files like

<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;URL=./html/index.html" />

which are clientside redirects. These are not great but a patch-job.

examples from liputenpo.org:

• https://liputenpo.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/0020nasin.pdf
• https://liputenpo.org/category/lipu/

proof of concept is working on branch https://github.com/alifeee/liputenpo/tree/feature/url-redirects

full list of redirects will have to be extracted from wordpress site, but I think it is just

• pdf URLs
• toki (when they are added) -> example
• jan pali (will probably be renamed to this from "about" - wordpress default) -> page

see current sitemap on https://liputenpo.org/sitemap_index.xml

redirects.yaml now holds all page URLs on the WordPress site.

It can have optional redirects which will lead to a new page, or otherwise it leads to the 404 page

we still need to redirect content urls

we still need to redirect content urls

I do not think this is possible as the site is currently set up.

Attempting to redirect this, for example:

- /wp-content/uploads/2021/04/akesi.png: /pdfs/0001akesi_sinpin.png

fails

we can probably not redirect files without server access

if the site is hosted on jan Peja's server then this could be possible

[alifeee]

for now I have removed content URLs with 6929e26

There are a lot of missing redirects that are toki that are not yet moved over.

This can be done over time
