 LoL, how do we programatically break all URLs to existing stuff?

 @1efe3b1d This seems like a prime example of something that could programmatically be solved with a 301 redirect.

It could. But then you would not be able to present a search results page, that "usually" points to the correct result.

with a bit of intelligence, no problem. They added that page I hear because there can be roles and collections with the same name.

Get the query, determine there's only one, and do a 302 to it. If there's more than one, present the "chooser" page.
