Comment (by jonoaldersonwp):

 That'd definitely help. We should make sure that the phrase "Ask a
 question" features prominently in the title, heading, and content.

 However, we're now in a position where we need design, content, and
 development. That's an even bigger ask and bottleneck than just
 redirecting the URLs somewhere sensible, which Otto has already flagged as
 being unfeasible.

 If we can't redirect the current page(s) to the new one, then we're going
 to struggle to unpick this (and the myriad similar
 pages/conflicts/issues).

 Perhaps the first step would be to make sure that we can easily implement
 301 redirects on the site, without needing to go through systems / wait
 for months / require extensive bespoke coding, etc?
