PopularPages is simply an index.<br /><br />Before the NewDocs Team merged with the Ubuntu Doc team (and changed the name to PopularPages), we set up guidelines to keep the index up to date and easy to use. That meant periodic link checking and (re)moving links of outdated or tagged pages, or for versions no longer supported.<br /><br />Leigh<br /> </span></span><blockquote style="border-left:1px solid #ccc;padding-left:5px;margin-left:5px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px" type="cite"><div><div><pre><span style="font-family:Verdana"><span style="font-size:12px">

Hi :)
Moving pages around is likely to break redirects and links that people have
in their "bookmarks".
Redirects are quite simple once you know how to do them. It's just a case
of remembering how. Errr, i can't remember tbh.
It might be more polite to initially put a simple clickable url address and
add a note to say that the page has been merged to there.
Regards from
Tom :)
