Put a page at /manual/nix

[lf-]

Observations

Currently there is a nix manual at https://nix.dev/manual/nix/2.13/language/operators

I tried changing versions by deleting the suffix up to /manual/nix and there was no page there.

Problem

Given a URL it should be possible to logically go down the hierarchy to get a version list or similar page.

Approaches

Putting a page there, but I'm not sure what page should be there or by what means it should be put there (and how it interacts with the side site navigation).

Willing to help?

I guess it should redirect to /manual/nix/stable/, which we can tackle easily after #830 lands.

Definitely not, it must let you pick version.

[asymmetric]

I would go a bit easy on "definitely not" and "must" 😉 -- but anyway, I actually agree with you, then I guess it could be a redirect to https://nix.dev/reference/nix-manual, which is the page that lets you pick a version.

EDIT: For the record, https://nixos.org/manual/nix/` redirects to https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/, and the user can choose a version using the drop-down, so that's also a valid option.
