.htaccess question for redirecting old URLs that google still has, for revamped web site
what is the htaccess statement(s) i should use to redirect the below URL that a google search shows that is from the former CMS website URLs?
http://www.domain.com/template.isp*
where my use above of * is a wildcard that is to match anything that follows the stub of this URL
an actual example is:
http://www.domain.com/template.jsp?doc=domain&c=Meet+the+Tea
and this needs to redirect to: http://www.domain.com/about-us
thank you!

the client now wants to replicate specific pages to redirect.
the previous solution worked fine, but i had specified "wildcard" for the rest of the URL.
how can i quote the following example URL source to be redirected to the same page?
http://www.Domain.com/template.jsp?doc=center&c=Meet+the+Team&wiz=0&page=Meet+the+Team
--> Domain.com/meet-the-team
i tried putting backslashes before all the punctuation/special chars, but it didn't work.
RewriteRule ^template\.jsp\?doc\=cente
thank you!

what are special pages please specify condition.
New rule has to be written above my previous comments
RewriteRule ^template\.jsp$ /about-us? [L,R=301]

for testing, i did replace your previous rule, but when my new try did not work, i put your original back in which works for about us.
please advise for all the special characters in the specific long URL (no wildcards)

it will be a series of 7 specific (complete) source URLs that redirect to specific target URLs.
i just need to get ONE to work, so i can then duplicate/edit a few chars difference.
the pattern match includes no programming nor wildcards. a full URL
