1242931 - Replace {{Xref_cssgradient}} occurrences with {{cssxref("<gradient>")}}

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Developer Documentation Graveyard :: Macros/Templates, defect)

Description

[Jean-Yves Perrier [:teoli]]

We have 50 occurrences of {{xref_cssgradient}}, a macro we want to delete [1].

This task is about to go on each of these MDN pages, to edit the page and to replace the occurrence of {{xref_cssgradient}} with {{cssxref("<gradient>")}}, to save it and to check that the link is working.

You need an MDN account and the ability to use a WYSIWYG editor to perform this task.

Hey Cody,

Thanks for the interest. This is a documentation bug, where you need to create an account on MDN (Mozilla Developer Network - developer.mozilla.org) and you can just edit the wiki pages to make the fix needed for the bug. Since this isn't a coding task, there isn't any patch needed for this.

Thank you for the quick reply. I went to MDN and saw that creation of new account is unavailable as of now. What should I do now?

You should ask at the dev-mdc mailing list for an account (and refer to this bug report):

Thank you Sebastian for guiding me. Thanks to Eric Shepherd, I was able to make an account on MDN successfully. I think I've successfully changed two occurrences[1] of {{xref_cssgradient}}. Since, this is my first time editing on MDN, I would request that you confirm that the two occurrences are successfully replaced and that I've not missed out on anything. Once confirmed that I'm on the correct track, the remaining 48 occurrences shall be a breeze.

Looks good. It will be fine to proceed the same way for the rest of the pages.

Thanks for the quick reply, Saurabh. So, I've replaced all the `{{xref_cssgradient}}` occurrences with `{{cssxref("<gradient>")}}`. What is left in the search [1] is `{{ xref_cssgradient() }}` occurrences. Now, should I replace these as well? If yes, should it be with `{{cssxref("<gradient>")}}` or something different? Thanks.

Hey,

You can replace `{{ xref_cssgradient() }}` also with `{{cssxref("<gradient>")}}`. AFAIK, if a macro doesn't have any params passed, the parenthesis can be ignored. So xref_cssgradient() is the same as xref_cssgradient.

Hello,

Thanks again for the quick reply, Saurabh. I've successfully replace all occurrences of `{{xref_cssgradient}}` with `{{cssxref("<gradient>")}}`, as can be seen in the search [1]. One page [2] seems to be having a script error so the link is not working there. All other occurrences were successfully replaced and were found working.

Thank you for making the changes!
