Ansible 2.x consolidated redirects
Oranod contributed
Ansible 2.x consolidated redirects are live.
Following on from the annoucement last week, the Ansible community team at Red Hat has made changes to consolidate >20k redirect rules that applied to
docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.3todocs.ansible.com/ansible/2.8urls. These consolidated redirects mean that plugin and module pages now open to an updated version of thedocs.ansible.com/collections.htmlpage. Other 2.x pages are redirected to the corresponding page in the latest version of the docs.If you want to find out more, please take a look at the forum post on Consolidating redirects on docs.ansible.com. If you spot any issue or want to report a problem with the changes, please either reply to the forum post or open an issue in the ansible/ansible-documentation repository.
