Instead of this:

https://til.simonwillison.net/til/til/javascript_manipulating-query-params.md

I want this:

https://til.simonwillison.net/javascript/manipulating-query-params

The old URLs should redirect to the new ones.

To do this I'm going to rename the database from til.db to tils.db so I can redirect /til/til/x without breaking my ability to browse the data using Datasette.

Need to redirect /til/feed.atom to /tils/feed.atom too.

And /til/search to /tils/search.

Last step is going to be setting up redirects from the old page URLs themselves.

Shipped and tested. Here's a TIL I wrote about the redirects: https://til.simonwillison.net/datasette/redirects-for-datasette
