Assign multiple slugs to one file / page

support
1

I have a taxonomy tags, this contains (conceptionally) aliases, which are tags that have been renamed in the past.

A basic example, where tag A has been superseded by B:

/tags/b/_index.md:

---
title: B
aliases:
  - /tags/A
---
Has been renamed from "A"

This works well when resolving external (URL) requests. But one one actually want’s is something like:

---
title: B
slugs:
  - /tags/A
  - /tags/B
---
Has been renamed from "A"

That is having an alias functionality while doing the internal Hugo page construction. This would have the benefit that this internal alias would also work for constructing a term page for both tags. Is something like this already possible without duplication the term page for the old and new tag?

A bit more background: The term pages contain metadata in the front matter (as params) that need to be displayed. For further usability the resolution should also work with .GetPage.

You cannot have two slugs for the same page

read that a couple of times and I don’t really get it.

something like or I’m totally lost?

  • there’s just tag B in site frontmatter (all pages updated)
  • all processsing (taxonbomy/tags) deals with B only
  • there’s just one tag page /tags/B
  • if the the browser calls tags/B it should be available as tags/B
  • if the the browser calls tags/A (bookmarked before) it should be available as tags/A
  • publish should create both term pages
  • no alias created

use case?
