When migrating from a different site, one might have a URL such as https://example.com/articles/my-article.

Currently, if one specifies the URL to redirect from /articles/my-article, it will create an extensionless HTML file. The web server might not be able to recognise it as an HTML file, and would need to be configured to do so. This can be a pain.

My proposal is to detect whether a redirect has an extension or not. If it does not have one, then create a directory named "my-article", and generate the redirecting HTML file inside of it as index.html.
