Is it possible to set a redirect from a URL that contains a typo (https://licensing.edu/yalecollection - which is missing the “yale”) to the correct URL (https://licensing.yale.edu/yalecollection)?

The version with a typo was in an ad that went to publication before anyone caught the mistake.

Hi Carolyn,

Unfortunately we can’t create a redirect since Yale doesn’t own licensing.edu.

But I did want to point out that the page that you are referencing is a broken link (goes to a Page Not Found). It looks like the page you need is https://licensing.yale.edu/yale-collection.

Thanks Alyssa,

The new URL is in the dev site (I’m not the admin for the site, but am posting on their behalf), and that may be why it returns a Page Not Found at this time.  I will forward your response to them though, just in case!

Yes, here’s the dev site link: https://dev.licensing.yale.edu/yale-collection
