Description

Describe the problem
Going to an older component that no longer exists, such as TextContent shows that it still exists on the main URL with no indication this is for the older v5.

https://www.patternfly.org/components/text/#textcontent

Expected behavior
I'd expect that this either

  • redirects to the successor (Content),
  • redirects to the old archived version,
  • remains but with a display of it being outdated

Any other information?
We found this through the Patternfly website search

  1. Go to search
  2. Put in TextContent
  3. See result for a component TextContent
  4. Click and get the link mentioned above

See image, filed search issue separately: #4472

Research direction

Reproduce the PatternFly search flow for TextContent and open the /components/text/#textcontent URL. Inspect the website's handling of legacy component routes and the successor Content page; no file or test is named, so confirm which of the listed redirect, archive, or outdated-notice behaviors is wanted. Done means links to the old page no longer present it without clear version context.
