Comment:

 This makes sense to me.

 I modified the slug of the Hello World post from `hello-world` to `hola-
 mundo`. Then I renamed it back.

 When I tried going to `/2025/12/25/hola-mundo/?utm=foo` I was redirected
 to ``/2025/12/25/hello-world/` with the query parameter removed.

 The `wp_old_slug_redirect()` function was introduced in WP 2.1. I'm
 surprised this hasn't been raised as an issue before.
