Hi @FranECross, confirmed this redirect is ready to go!

[FranECross]

Thanks, @kristinoletmuskat ! Moving into Next refinement and will be candidate for Sprint 10 (Aug 7 - Aug 20).

[kristinoletmuskat]

@FranECross hey! Just checking in on the timing for this one -- when do y'all think you might be able to pull it in?

[FranECross]

@kristinoletmuskat Just scooted it into the current sprint; I realize in looking at it that I hadn't added the 'sitewide' tag to it, so it was missed pulling it in, but I'm sure @chriskim2311 will be able to address it this week, and will ping you when it's ready for review. (I'll double-check the tags in future when I'm assigned a ticket; since we're operating as a 'megateam' now, it needs that in order to show on our board). cc @jilladams @chriskim2311

This redirect is live and working, and can be closed whenever CAIA can verify. Thanks!

Confirmed this is working! @oddball-lindsay FYI
