 Description   

Many of the intro pages for MMS (eg: https://mms.mongodb.com/help/) are auto-detection pages that send the browser off to another area if you've previously answered the question "cloud or onprem" (presumably stored as a cookie or in your login session since incognito works correctly). On the surface this sounds like a wonderful piece of automation but in practice, the overloading of URLs means that any link given out has a potentially different landing page depending on the prior actions of the user clicking that link.

This means we are unable to provide reliable links.

This appears to have changed recently such that URLs which have no equivalent now forward to a 404 error page. Can we remove the forwarder completely please?
