I'll re-post the answer I've given here: https://github.com/mkdocs/mkdocs/discussions/3134
Here you go, https://github.com/kamilkrzyskow/gmc/commits/redirect-plugin?since=2023-02-24 that was my previous approach with another hook and
old_nav
meta list of old paths. However, I decided against it because moving a whole directory of files into another location requires modifying all of those files, and this just sullies the Git Blame imo, and is rather tedious to do (trust me, I took it till the end and modified 40 files by hand).The idea came from the solution here https://github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material/discussions/3758 the difference here, which is VERY important is that the ContextID is static, possibly managed by some outside tooling and database, so the files can move however they want and the redirection will always point to the correct path, this doesn't go well with manually readjusting the "ContextID" equivalent after each move.
Personally, I feel like it could be a nice feature to allow defining redirects in a file's yaml frontmatter.
As an example:
The benefits I see:
