Sometimes content can change URLs and thus not be available to the end user or a user thinks they know the URL but is incorrect. To alleviate this Drupal keeps track of all content accessed and provides a list of the URLs which are missing. Drupal keeps track of how many times the content has tried to be accessed and provides an easy way to create a URL Redirect to help our users find the content they are looking for.
