title: Better way of creating static pages with *.html extensions in Django
body: <p>I have a website which is fully in built in HTML (all the links have *.htm extension). I am developing a dynamic version of this website using Django, but I don't want the old links of the old website to be broken, because there may many people refer to those links.</p>
  
  <p>So what I am doing right now based on my knowledge is creating url patterns for each link like below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>urlpatterns = [
      # static pages below
      url(r'^children.htm', TemplateView.as_view(template_name='home/children.htm'), name='children'),
  ]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It works fine, but I wonder whether this way is valid or not AND I want to know whether there is any other better way of doing it?</p>
