First google result for "matplotlib gallery" goes to stale link

When I want to find the matplotlib gallery, the first google result is https://matplotlib.org/gallery.html

This redirects to https://matplotlib.org/2.0.2/gallery.html , which prompts me to click through to the stable docs:

However that leads me to https://matplotlib.org/stable/ and I have to hunt for the link to the gallery on that page. As a familiar user this chain of several clicks is annoying, and I imagine that to a new user this is extremely confusing. Or they would miss the banner and stay on the old documentation site.

So, three points here:

  1. Is there a reason the gallery redirect goes to the old docs?
  2. This may be an issue with other top-level urls and could use an audit, I haven't checked others.
  3. Is there a way of redirecting to the corresponding stable documentation page from the old docs (if it exists), rather than to the documentation main page?

This might take a little while to get through all caches, but this should redirect to the current gallery now.

This issue is still showing up for me, even with a fresh browser.

@tacaswell Can you make sure the CloudFlare cache is cleared?

So actually, GitHub changed how it does deployment and our site is over the 10GB limit again.
