1238037 - Redirect all Demo Studio and Dev Derby URLs to the new "Demos of open web technologies" wiki page

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Demo Studio / Dev Derby, defect)

Description

[John Karahalis [:openjck]]

Once we create new landing page(s) to explain that the Demo Studio and Dev Derby have been retired (bug 1234914), we should redirect all Demo Studio and Dev Derby URLs to those new pages.

The exception would be any popular Demo Studio URLs that are being redirected to corresponding demos on other platforms (bug 1238041); these should take precedence over the general redirects to the informative message.

Redirect target:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Demos_of_open_web_technologies

I've seen other redirects get set up for MDN. Do we do this via apache redirects? Or would this go into our urls.py file?

That's a good question. We could probably do either. The only redirects that need WebOps coordination AFAIK are those that redirect away from /media. Redirects away from /media need to be placed inside the VirtualHost that defines the /media Alias (for some reason) and only WebOps has authorship over that.

But for this redirect either type should be fine.
