 From the Spanish Community we have the need to make redirections of some
 obsolete pages to point to new pages with a new URL or new content at
 es.wordpress.org.

 Bearing in mind that there is no redirection system, I propose this proof
 of concept of how a simple redirection system could be proposed (NOTE: my
 knowledge of WordPress plugin development is limited, but I have people
 who could propose something much more serious and that complies with the
 PHPCS).

 The idea of the Plugin is simple. On the one hand, in the pages, create a
 metabox in which you can indicate the new destination URL. It is saved,
 and if when loading the page, that metabox is detected in the page, the
 redirection is done.

 I know that this situation has been raised previously by other people to
 Meta, both by the Spanish team and by other teams, so if the idea is
 valid, I can work on evolving this system to be 100% compatible.

 I leave a link from the Git where you can see the PoC
