Support wildcard matching within path segments (partial segment wildcards)

[timherby]

Use Case

We're migrating documentation from Intercom/Zendesk to Mintlify. The old URLs follow this pattern:

/en/articles/{article-id}-{url-slug}

For example, the same article may have been accessed via multiple URL variations:

• /en/articles/9140627-how-do-i-create-and-manage-my-collections
• /en/articles/9140627-what-is-a-collection

Both should redirect to the same destination. We have ~300 redirects, many with 2-5 URL variations per article ID.

Current Limitation

The :slug* wildcard only matches at path segment boundaries. These patterns don't work:

{ "source": "/en/articles/9140627-*", "destination": "/new-path" }
{ "source": "/en/articles/9140627-:slug*", "destination": "/new-path" }

Proposed Solution

Support wildcards within path segments, for example:

{ "source": "/en/articles/9140627-*", "destination": "/collections/overview" }

This would match any URL starting with /en/articles/9140627- regardless of the slug suffix.

Benefit

This would let us consolidate ~300 individual redirects into ~100 wildcard patterns, making redirect configuration more maintainable and reducing the risk of missing URL variations we haven't discovered yet.

Very valid feature request. We will look into this one.
