Guidelines for HK government website URL migrations
Dear Digital Policy Office,
Is there any official policy or guidelines for government departments on how their websites migrate to new URLs? HK Government deptartments are in the habit of revamping their website structures without leaving forwarding links or any guidance. So is this information captured anywhere so the new webpages can be located?
Yours faithfully,
Seema Espita
