Subject: New Wiki URLs?

Hello,

I noticed the kernel wiki URLs might have changed. The URLs now are
like this:

https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/b43

However in the kernel source code and in the kernel log output you
find something like this:

    b43-phy1 ERROR: You must go to http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware and do
    wnload the correct firmware for this driver version. Please carefully read all instructions on this 
    website.

(Notice the additional subdomain and the case change in the resource
path.)

Some websites seem to link on those old URLs, see
https://packages.debian.org/source/buster/b43-fwcutter for example.

Could the webmasters of kernel.org please configure some kind of
redirects so people don't get 404 errors when looking for docs?

Bonus question: would it make sense to change all those URLs in the
source (as in: send patches for that)? Then what URLs are supposed to
be the right ones now?

Kind regards
Alex
