Already discussed on Discord, but adding a note to say I can't reproduce this, it may have been caches being invalidated during deploy.
For some more context, the problem appears to be from here:
mdn/content@dfb8c72#diff-afe010c4707d10d488b1e1c050b3298da03267dec0abca46d6d444b2ae8774a5L10890
We had a situation with these changes in the redirects file:
- /en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/performance /en-US/docs/Web/API/performance_property
+ /en-US/docs/Web/API/performance_property /en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/performanceAnd the old & new redirects were both active at the same time.
I cannot reproduce the issue, and indeed this indicates a temporary caching issue. We tell browsers to cache permanent redirects for moved pages for 30 days (which we could reduce), and our CDN only caches them for 30 minutes.
