## Simplified UI for URL Rewrites

Oct 23, 2024 

[ Rules ](https://developers.cloudflare.com/rules/) 

It’s now easy to create **wildcard-based [URL Rewrites](https://developers.cloudflare.com/rules/transform/url-rewrite/)**. No need for complex functions—just define your patterns and go.

![Rules Overview Interface](https://developers.cloudflare.com/_astro/create-url-rewrite-rule.DIgpB8IB_ZNTjfK.webp) 

What’s improved:

* **Full wildcard support** – Create rewrite patterns using intuitive interface.
* **Simplified rule creation** – No need for complex functions.

Try it via [creating a Rewrite URL rule in the dashboard](https://developers.cloudflare.com/rules/transform/url-rewrite/create-dashboard/#wildcard-pattern-parameters).
