+# Short URLs
+
+Drupal 8's redirect module supports creating redirects to external URLs.  This means it can be used as your own custom URL shortener!
+
+1.  Add a redirect at https://agaric.coop/admin/config/search/redirect/add
+2.  Make the path for your redirect start with `r/` to avoid the possibility of a conflict with a future page on the site.
+3.  If you get an error, try selecting a language to start.  You can edit the redirect to remove the language later.
+
+For external redirects, we recommend 302 Found (moved temporarily) so that you can update it if conditions out of your control change.
+
+
+You can edit your redirect by searching for it at https://agaric.coop/admin/config/search/redirect
