 ### Should `/en-US/about-us` redirect when the default locale is unprefixed?
 
-**No. Only `/en-US` itself does.**
+**Yes, by one wildcard — not by a rule per page.**
 
 With `prefixDefaultLocale: false` the default locale is served at `/about-us`
-and nothing is built under `/en-US/`. Claiming the prefixed root is one rule and
-answers the URL people actually type, having seen every other language wear a
-prefix. Claiming the pages under it is a different proposition: a rule per page,

+and nothing is built under `/en-US/`. Claiming the pages under it one rule at a
+time does not work: slugs are translated per locale, so the URL a reader lands
+on by editing `/el-GR/sxetika-me-emas` down to English keeps the *Greek* slug —
 `/en-US/sxetika-me-emas`. Covering that means the cross product of the prefix
-with every locale's spelling of every slug, which is a `_redirects` of hundreds
-against the 2000 a host reads, all of it for URLs nothing has ever linked.
-
-This was built first, in the one-rule-per-default-locale-page form, which is
-worth naming because it looks complete and is not: it answers `/en-US/about-us`
-and misses `/en-US/sxetika-me-emas`, so the case that motivated it is the case
-it does not cover.
-
-A wildcard would sidestep the count — `/en-US/* /:splat 301` is one line — but
-not the translated slug, and it is Cloudflare's syntax rather than something
-`ResolvedRedirect` can carry to another host. The pages get the 404 page, which
-is what it is for.

+`/en-US/* /:splat 301` is one line instead. It still does not cover the
+translated slug — `/en-US/sxetika-me-emas` goes to `/sxetika-me-emas`, which
+404s — but that URL 404ed without the rule too, so it is never worse and it
+answers every English slug. It is Cloudflare's syntax, which is what every site
