+Please note that default redirection is a 301 "Moved Permanently" redirect. Keep in mind that some web browsers or proxy servers will cache this type of redirect, making the old page inaccessible. You can use the `:status` option to change the response status:
+
+```ruby
+get '/stories/:name', to: redirect('/articles/%{name}', status: 302)
+```
 
 In all of these cases, if you don't provide the leading host (`http://www.example.com`), Rails will take those details from the current request.
