- 2
Swap “redirect” and “under construction” for “coming” and “soon”
“redirect” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #17. “coming” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “under construction” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #17. “soon” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
