Update links to old site

[jennybc]

Manual transfer from https://github.com/STAT545-UBC/STAT545-UBC-original-website/issues/71#issuecomment-532056517

Inlining the main points:

@gracelawley didn't realize we would unpublish the original STAT 545 site when she made the redirects.

Links to (old) pages that didn't make it into the (new) bookdown site are currently redirecting to pages below a nonexistent https://STAT545-UBC.github.io. So that needs to be fixed. This affects 31 URLs.

Default strategy: redirect to the rendered .md in the old website source repo

Also a good idea: decide how valuable the content/link is. The old repo lives on, for posterity, and sometimes we should just do a little rewording here to eliminate the link altogether. That is, maybe we don't need to handle all 31 of these, some of them can just be dropped.

@jennybc I went through all 31 of the pages and sorted them into three groups: (1) Redirect to the rendered .md in the old website source repo (2) Drop (i.e. send to the 404 page) (3) Not sure but maybe ___.

What do you think? I wanted to check with you before I made a new _redirects file.

Redirect to the rendered .md

Redirect to the rendered .md

I agree with all of your proposals except this still seems current and worth retaining (even if it "needs work", that's true of many pages):

• /block031_vector-tibble-relations.html "Vectors versus tibbles" Currently included in bookdown Appendix/Deprecated

Stick it in a part relating to data manipulation.

Drop (i.e. will go to 404 page)

I agree with all of your proposals except:

• /block034_useR-encoding-case-study.html "Character encoding case study: useR! 2019"
• /useR-2019-accepted-talks.csv csv file used in the above

I'd like these to be preserved. Shove them into Short Random Things? Could also be added as a case study chapter in the part where character data and encoding is covered. Probably a better place.

Not sure but maybe ___ ?

Agree with you everywhere.
