Research direction

Start by using the linked Wayback Machine snapshot to compare old Thingweb URLs with their current paths, beginning with services.html and services/. Identify the complete set of outdated links and confirm that each old URL forwards to its corresponding current page; the issue does not mention a file, test, or redirect entry point.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I wonder whether we want to setup some forwards for pages we used to have

e.g.,
https://www.thingweb.io/services.html
is now
https://www.thingweb.io/services/

etc.

There are many more.

We can check old links easily with the wayback machine
