Redirects

2024-09-07 — we made a series of redirects across the Rail to provide more flexibility around Issues, Special Issues, and Articles.

These changes will make it easier to

• Publish Issues that are out of the year/month model (like Special Issues)
• Make it easier to display Articles outside of the context of an Issue in the front-end site
• Greatly reduce the amount of logic in the code to support Special Issues
