New description:

 The handbook contains tons of empty pages, and, tons of deleted pages
 without redirects.

 This needs better care; we need to make sure that pages which are
 moved/removed ''always'' get redirected. Separately to this cleanup, I'd
 be keen to understand how we prevent this from happening again - it's
 ''extremely'' damaging.

 The following are examples of URLs I've found which are either empty docs
 pages, or, pages which have been removed but not redirected.

 There are almost certainly more; all of them need removing (if they
 haven't already been) ''and'' redirecting to suitable equivalents.

 Empty pages:
 - https://make.wordpress.org/docs/handbook/past-projects/
 - https://make.wordpress.org/docs/handbook/documentation-team-handbook/
 - https://make.wordpress.org/docs/handbook/helphub/helphub-contributors/
 - https://make.wordpress.org/docs/handbook/helphub/translating-helphub/
 - https://make.wordpress.org/docs/handbook/devhub/devhub-contributors/
