1175603 - Remove apache redirects for retired namespaces

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Websites :: wiki.mozilla.org, defect)

Description

[Christie Koehler [:ckoehler]]

In preparation for disabling retired namespaces we have moved content from those namespaces to subpages. We also need to remove the apache-based redirects in place for those namespaces. 

Right now we have conflicting redirects: Mediawiki redirects DocShell:Home Page to DocShell and apache redirects DocShell to DocShell:Home Page which no longer exists. 

Here's an example of the redirects that need to be removed:
https://github.com/mozilla/wiki.mozilla.org/blob/production/tools/wiki-dev.allizom.org.conf#L70

We'll update the settings in that file and will need to coordinate with webops to ensure the correct lines are removed in the apache config on the generic cluster.

Attachment: Remove DocShell from configuration files

This removes the DocShell redirect from all the configuration files where it appears. (This change will need to be mirrored to the actual configuration files in use in production.)
