During the build process, it creates .html files at the old file paths that redirect browsers to the new locations, preventing broken links when documentation structure changes.\n\nYou configure redirects declaratively in mkdocs.yml using a redirect_maps dictionary, where keys are original markdown file paths and values are either new markdown paths or external URLs. The plugin handles URL resolution automatically, respecting MkDocs' use_directory_urls setting to generate correct relative or absolute redirect targets. It also produces warnings if redirect targets don't exist, which is useful when strict mode is enabled.","worth_installing":"Yes. The plugin is production-stable (Development Status 5), actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and solves a common documentation management problem with minimal dependencies. Install it if you maintain MkDocs documentation and anticipate or have already restructured pages; it's low-friction and permissively licensed."},"id":"mkdocs-redirects","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mkdocs-redirects","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mkdocs-redirects.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/mkdocs-redirects/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-03-28","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"mkdocs-redirects","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A MkDocs plugin for dynamic page redirects to prevent broken links"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1683733,"position":3656,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.2.3"}
