Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-13571:
------------------------------------
Ideally I'd like us to have a real copy of the refGuide at
[https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/latest/] instead of today a redirect that
will rewrite the URL to latest if you omit the X_Y part. It would still be
possible to permalink to a specific version of the guide, but if e.g.
[https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/latest/solrcloud.html] would contain to
8_1 guide right now, and then once 8_2 is released, we publish it to both the
"8_2" subfolder and the "latest" subfolder, and the rank authority of that
"latest" URL would then remain, and over time hopefully grow strong? It would
also make it way easier for people to link to the latest version if they do not
care about version.
We'd obviously need to sort out how to handle URL renames and deletions. Part
of the release process could perhaps be to generate a list of all pages in
existing "latest" and new guide to be released, and for every page that existed
in X_Y but not in newest X_Z, we'd add a redirect rule to X_Y for that specific
page, to make sure we don't break too many links on the "latest" guide.

> Spinoff from SOLR-13548
> The old Confluence ref-guide has a lot of pages pointing to it, and all of
> that link karma is delegated to the {{/solr/guide/6_6/}} html ref guide,
> making it often rank top. However we'd want newer content to rank high. See
