urls w/ simple bioguide id are broken

[timball]

bioguideIDs used to have urls like this:

http://capitolwords.org/lawmaker/C001057/

but now have urls like this

http://capitolwords.org/legislator/C001057-norm-coleman/

i do not know of a simple regex-y way to fix this . GOOG wmt thinks there are 133 broken urls like this . uh this might be a thinker . the problem is that there are outside links that point to these links .

--timball

temporarily i'm gonna make a regex that will leave broken links but just s/lawmaker/legislator/

These are old site references.. Does it even matter?

i don't know ? i'm just going thru all the bugs and issues webmaster tools has for all of our sites .

the regex is in place:

    location ~ ^/lawmaker/ {
        rewrite ^/lawmaker(\/.*) /legislator$1 permanent;
    }
