unclear about template documentation
editI was not really clear on what the doc page was trying to communicate (e.g. showing "current url" and "former url"), thinking that there was some way the template would produce an archive link. I guess it's just providing the actual format of current and older links to help in locating archive copies. Generally, a template would eventually become useless because older links weren't being maintained as live links. It seems to defeat the value of using the template, and also (IMO) tended to obscure what was actually happening.
The form of the path has now changed from:
https://www.usaswimming.org/meet-the-team/national-team-bios?personid=hexadecimal_id_string
to
https://www.usaswimming.org/meet-the-team/national-team/bio/firstname-lastname
In some but not all cases, the web site is doing a redirect to this new form, e.g.
https://www.usaswimming.org/meet-the-team/national-team-bios?personid=9dd72b58-4488-43b3-80b3-802734191426
