 In [changeset:"59091" 59091]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="59091"
 Canonical: Redirect when front page's paginated states not found.

 Perform a canonical redirect for an invalid pagination request of a static
 front page.

 When a site has a static front page assigned and that page has a `<!--
 nextpage-->` within its content, previously accessing non-existing pages
 (e.g. `example.com/page/3/`) did not redirect or return a 404 or 301. This
 changeset resolves that issue by performing a canonical redirect.

 Unit tests are also included for this specific use case and to ensure the
 fix does not affect a blog listing home page.

 Follow-up to [47738], [47727], [34492].
