1133414 - Add page for deprecated media types and groups

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Developer Documentation Graveyard :: CSS, enhancement)

Description

[Sebastian Zartner [:sebo]]

The table showing the relation between media types and groups was removed from the @media page some time ago.[1] Though for MDN it is important to also mention information about deprecated features.

Jean-Yves says this:
"Standardization status
1. Media group are deprecated
2. Media types are deprecated for a small number of them and obsolete
for the other.

We should:

A. Have a page about "Media types and groups".
B. In it listing media types that are deprecate (with a warning), and
just add a list for the obsolete ones beneath them.
C. In it a section about media groups, saying it is deprecated and
briefly listing them.
D. Spec table /Compat table (The spec table must make it clear where it
has been added/obsoleted/deprecated; that's our traceability data :-)

All media/visual & co page should redirect to it. (Eventual non existing
page should be created as REDIRECT)
@media who have part of this content should be shortened and link to it.

In the CSS DB (CSS Syntax Values & co) and cssbox: we should keep it for
the moment, we may remove it in the future."

Sebastian
