Versions v22.2 and earlier are no longer hosted in the docs site, causing inbound links to return 404. Reported via user feedback: https://www.cockroachlabs.com/docs/v22.2/cockroach-start Add Netlify wildcard redirect rules for all retired versions (v1.0 through v22.2) pointing :splat to the equivalent stable page, so existing bookmarks and external links land on current docs.

Thanks @ebembi-crdb. Do we handle the case where the equivalent path does not exist on |

Summary
stable/pagehttps://www.cockroachlabs.com/docs/v22.2/cockroach-startVersions v23.1 and later are actively hosted. Everything v22.2 and older has no doc directory in the repo, so any inbound link to those versions returns a 404. The wildcard rules send visitors to the same page path under
stable/instead.No internal links in the codebase point to retired version pages — this is purely an inbound SEO/UX fix.
