Policy Documents shortcut URL

Until today I had always used www.thedci.com/docs as a quick shortcut to the policy documents on a PC. However, today this seems to have been changed to redirect to the planeswalker points homepage (www.wizards.com/magic/planeswalkerpoints).

Was this intentional? If yes, can we get another shortcut, maybe even via magicjudges.org, for continued ease of use? Google is not particularly helpful at getting to the most updated copies of the documents because it also indexes the PDF files themselves, and the indexed files are rarely the most current one.

Yes, this was intentional.

I use this shortcut for policy docs: http://www.wizards.com/wpn/Events/Rules.aspx

Thx - SM

An update, since I've heard from some people (angry that I wouldn't let THEM comment … such a mean Uncle, I am).

Google for “magic rules”, and the first hit I see is what you want. That seems even faster than typing “thedci.com”, etc., etc.

Also, if I start to type ‘rules’ in the address bar, Firefox knows this is what I really want:
https://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=magic/rules
Which - thanks to the ‘s’ on the http, which Firefox has memorized for me - actually works here behind my oh-so-strict corporate firewall…

I think this is a change that we can all survive with our sanity intact. :)
