Does the spinx redirect directive not handle the redirects by itself?

I can't work out why the doc build is failing. It says

    ValueError: users/release_notes_next is already noted as redirecting to release/release_notes_next

but, as far as I can see there's only one redirect from users/release_notes_next 🤔

I think there's one more level handled in https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib.org

Sorry, I'm not following - what does "one more level handled" mean?

Since the improvements/fixes to the redirection code are orthogonal to moving these docs around, I put them in #30309

Ok i had not noticed that you'd put a redirect-from in each file. Seems fine if it works! I was suggesting just redirecting the subdirectory at the server config, but if this caught everything it should be ok

Just that I remember having to ask @QuLogic to do some redirects on the matplotlib.org repo for the other PRs on that issue.

That was stable -> devel (which means independent build directories); this is all internal to the a single build, so shouldn't need anything server side.
