Space Marine Working Re-Directs



Its been a little while since working re-directs were taken away, but it seems there is still a way to see some of them. The re-directs take you from the standard lower case search on the Games Workshop site, to a corrected upper case page. Of course we still get the records expunged page, but that is normal for re-directs.


Of course there are many readers here that know more about these re-directs than I do, but these seem to work for Space Marine Assault Squads, and a Dark Angels Battleforce.

I’ve just noticed a working redirect for the new SM assault squad.
Here’s how to reproduce it:

1. The redirect only works if you don’t append the locale to the URL (so the local part should be /blah, not /en-us/blah).
2. The usual rule of ‘upper case means something’ still holds.
3. Navigate to http://www.games-workshop.com/space-marine-assault-squad-2015
4. You’ll be redirected to http://www.games-workshop.com/en-IE/Space-Marine-Assault-Squad-2015

apparently http://www.games-workshop.com/dark-angels-battleforce-2015 is a valid redirect as well.
