# Contributions to the Wiki

There are many ways to contribute to the wiki! To see how, check out the Contributing to Documentation (opens new window) guide. Before submitting pull requests, always make sure that your updates will build and display correctly, by testing in your local environment using yarn docs:dev.

# Redirections

Because the wiki is served from GitHub Pages, there is no server-side rewrite available, so moved or renamed pages are handled by a small VuePress plugin that generates a redirect stub for every old URL. The mapping lives in the redirects object at the top of docs/.vuepress/config.js (opens new window), where each key is the old URL exactly as it used to be served (case-sensitive, including the .html suffix) and each value is the new URL — for example "/Election2022.html": "/foundation/elections/2022.html". At build time the plugin emits one page per entry containing a 0; url=… meta refresh plus a robots: noindex tag, so visitors following an old external link land on the new page instantly and search engines are not left indexing the stub. To use it, whenever you relocate or rename a page, add one line to that object mapping the old path to the new one, update any in-wiki links to point at the new location directly, and check both the old and the new URL with yarn docs:dev before opening your pull request.
