Description
Description
If you land in the old documentation via a search engine or whatever, the "latest" and "master" links do not work. Instead you get an empty directory listing.
Suggested Fix
Missing versions in the archive should redirect to the non-archive versions.
Type of documentation
All
Location or format of documentation

Research direction
Reproduce the broken links at the listed archive URLs for 2018.3, latest, and master, then trace the documentation archive routing or redirect configuration that serves them. Done means missing archive versions redirect to the corresponding non-archive documentation pages instead of showing an empty directory listing.
