Github has a default 404 page mechanism, once provided it will make sure all missed paths will redirect to there. I think we can further redirect the original paths to the available ones in the 404 page. I’ve try added a 404 page in the root directory, but it seems doesn’t work for the current website template. The reason why it doesn’t work is not clear yet.
