📚 Documentation Updates​

📅 2026-06-23​

🛠️ Site Improvements​

  • Renamed Engineer / Misc → Guides: Moved cross-platform how-tos from engineer/Misc/ to engineer/guides/ for cleaner URLs and better topical signal. Client-side redirects preserve old /docs/engineer/Misc/* paths.

📚 Documentation Updates​

  • Outlook Rules PowerShell Cleanup — SEO pass: Converted the bulk-delete Outlook rules guide to MDX with HowTo and FAQ structured data, a clean URL slug, trimmed meta description, expanded long-tail keywords, custom Open Graph image, and internal links to related docs.

🛠️ Site Improvements​

  • SEO: enforced trailing slashes and fixed canonical URLs: Set trailingSlash: true in docusaurus.config.js. GitHub Pages was 301-redirecting non-slash URLs (/blog/my-post) to their trailing-slash form (/blog/my-post/) and serving that as the 200 response, but Docusaurus (with trailingSlash undefined) was emitting rel="canonical", og:url, and sitemap.xml entries pointing at the non-slash URL — i.e. every canonical pointed at a URL that immediately redirected, and the sitemap mixed both forms. Enforcing the setting normalises every page to a single URL form site-wide so canonical/og:url/sitemap all match the served URL. Confirmed url is already correctly set to https://www.uncommonengineer.com.

🔧 Bug Fixes​

  • Replaced stale ronamosa.io references with the canonical domain: Internal links and references to the old ronamosa.io domain were sending link equity to a redirected domain. Updated the Algolia search guide (prose link + crawler config), the "Re-Host. Re-Factor. Re-Up." blog post, and the console-clue.js easter egg to point at https://www.uncommonengineer.com, and refreshed the changelog intro to the current brand. Fixed two doubly-broken "Part 1" links in the Ubiquiti Home Network archive post (old domain and a defunct /documentation/ path that 404s) by converting them to relative doc links that resolve to /docs/archive/....
