Drupal 8.x

Hi.

I have a views page with the URL "/gallery/%". The placeholder can get next values: aviationand railway. But I really need URLs look like "aviation/gallery" and "railway/gallery". I've tried to set redirect in first with the .htaccess and after with the Redirect module. Unfortunately they are both making redirect and clearly changing URL. How can I make redirect without URL changing?

Searching for the Drupal Way of this.
I don't figure out how to do this having a fresh install with Booststrap theme.
Thank you.

Despite using Recaptcha and Honeypot, my D8 site gets many spammy account applications. All the user names end with 4 digits. Is there a way to automagically block and/or cancel such account requests?

Dumb question: we've been using the beta(s) of Webform and want to upgrade to the final release of 5.0. Is there a way to do this and not dump our existing webforms? ]

When just swapping in 5.0, it seems to work OK, and when looking in Available updates, it shows as: No available releases found

Thank you.

I am trying to make a short list of my 3 most recent articles for a "News" list on the right sidebar.

I'm nearly there somehow, but missing a key step.  Here's what I did...if anyone can tell me the missing link (pun intended!) that would be wonderful.

Please note, I'm NOT trying to display or create blogposts or articles themselves.  I'm trying to make a list (pager?) of the most recent 5 or so NEW articles, so that someone can arrive on the home page and go "Oh, interesting news..." and click through to the article.
