Add trailing slash to URLs - part 5

Hanif Smith-Watson requested to merge hsmithwatson-missing-slash-10-05-5 into master

Why is this change being made?

Added trailing slash / to internal links to remove redirects.

This is to increase our "crawl budget" because every time you redirect one of your website's pages, it decreases your crawl budget, which may run out before search engines can crawl the page you want to be indexed.
