1187341 - [BrowserCompat] Make proposal for updating MDN pages' table displays when BrowserCompat is updated

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Luke Crouch [:groovecoder]]

To launch BrowserCompat table displays on MDN, we need to consider and design code to:

* Trigger MDN "feature pages" to update (re-render) their table displays when the corresponding BrowserCompat data is updated. [1]
* Update (re-render) related (e.g., translated) pages that rely on feature data [2]

[1] The first implementation idea mentioned was to make BrowserCompat send an update "ping" (webhook-style) to MDN to re-render a page with a fresh fetch to BrowserCompat for data.
[2] The first implementation idea mentioned was to set up a separate celery queue just for these tasks

I've made some proposals for rebuilding pages in this doc:

Worth mentioning: we have existing bugs about making it possible to trigger rebuilds of pages on template changes; there's a possibility of sharing a mechanism here depending on the approach taken.
