Draft a redirect table from old and new URLs Prompts

Maps your old and new URLs into a redirect table, flags collisions and does not invent destination addresses.

Area: Marketing
Level: Advanced
Good for: Derive a redirect table from two URL lists without guessing destinations
Flag collisions, multiple targets and missing counterparts
Use only the addresses supplied and leave gaps as questions

How it works

Paste the list of old URLs and, as far as you have them, the new counterparts or the new structure.
Say which format you need, such as old, new and a note, and whether you have paths or full addresses.
Do not invent destination URLs or status codes. Leave unclear mappings open.

To copy

Draft a redirect table from my URL lists. Do not invent destination URLs, status codes or rules that are not in my notes.
Old URLs:
[paste list]
New URLs or new structure, if any:
[paste list or structure]
Desired columns: [otherwise: old, new, note]
Further constraints, if any: [constraints]

Check and write:
1. One line per old URL. Enter a new destination only if I stated it or the match in the lists is unambiguous (the same path core or a rule I stated).
2. Missing destinations: mark old URLs without a clear counterpart as open, without suggesting a target that is not in the lists.
3. Collisions: several old URLs to the same new one, or one old URL with more than one possible target, as a check note.
4. Differences only in spelling, trailing slash or letter case as a note, not as a silent correction.
5. Do not invent status codes (such as 301 or 302) or server rules I did not state.
6. Open questions: which pairs are still unclear and which facts are missing.

Output: redirect table, collisions, open destinations, open questions. No invented addresses.
