@JimMadge, my question here is that if it's always redirecting lang/ then what happens when we have Spanish? We probably want url/esp/overview, etc Again, I may totally misunderstand the intention!

The redirects are processed from the top to the bottom, with the first matching rule applying.

So I think we could add a rule above this like

[[redirects]]
    from = "/docs/es/:slug"
    to = "/es/:slug"

and that should take precedence over the more generic rule.

to = "/docs/:slug"
status = 302
# Splat redirect from /docs/ to /
# Previously the site was severed at allcontributors.org/docs/
[[redirects]]
from = "/docs/*"
to = "/:splat"
status = 302
