Instead of letting broken links accumulate, you define a mapping of old page paths to new ones, and the extension ensures that any request for an old page lands on the current version. The extension also resolves redirect chains: if page A redirects to page B and page B redirects to page C, all requests go directly to page C, so users experience only one redirect rather than multiple hops.\n\nThe extension works with Sphinx's html and dirhtml builders and can optionally check your git repository to verify that deleted or renamed files have corresponding redirects defined. It's a lightweight addition to your Sphinx setup\u2014it only depends on Sphinx itself\u2014and supports Python 3.9 through 3.13. The project is marked Production/Stable and has been maintained since 2020, though releases have slowed recently.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you maintain Sphinx documentation and need to handle page renames or deletions gracefully. The low install friction, permissive license, and stable status make it a straightforward addition. The aging maintenance signal (320 days since last release) is a minor concern but not a blocker\u2014the repository is active and the extension's scope is narrow and stable.
