#7089 closed enhancement (fixed)

https://developer.wordpress.org/blog/ should redirect to /news/

Description

The WordPress developer blog name is WordPress Developer Blog

The blog lives at https://developer.wordpress.org/news/

https://developer.wordpress.org/blog/ is a 404.

I instinctively type /blog/ in the browser when seeking this out due to this being titled as a blog.

I think a redirect from /blog/ to /news/ has some value here.

Welcome to Meta Trac, and thanks for this suggestion, @tommusrhodus!

+1 for this idea. Unless there are future plans for /blog/, it seems a redirect could mitigate confusion over the naming convention used here.
