Please could a site admin set up some kind of redirection for all the links that are included within Civi 2.0?

Most of the pages in Civi have links for further help.
In Civi 2.0 these are of the form http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence//x/1Cs  http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence//x/ZSk
All of these appear to be broken due to the documentation site being rearranged.

I imagine a lot of people are still using 2.0 and broken links like this make working with Civi really difficult, for both developers and end-users.

(Assuming this isn't all part of the terrible scheme to twist peoples arms into upgrading. Btw, I'm upgrading our last 2.0 site this weekend, and I'm SO GLAD. 2.2 makes me happy.)

How did it go in Animal Farm? 2+2 good, 2+0 bad?

Seriously though Joachim - if you can work out where those links should go TO, I'm happy to help write the rewrite rules to fix the inline docs for 2.0 users.

I thought I recalled some changes to the pingback mechanism being mentioned around that time which would weight the numbers in favour of more recent versions?

This is a highly unscientific survey, but Google seems to think there's a fair amount of "Powered by CiviCRM 2.0" out there. (Thanks GoogleFight.)
