1723761 - Scroll linked positioning effect message in console contains outdated link

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: Console, defect)

Description

[Avi Wollman]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/91.0

Steps to reproduce:

I was on a website that Firefox detected as using a scroll linked positioning effect.

Actual results:

Firefox showed a console message of:
This site appears to use a scroll-linked positioning effect. This may not work well with asynchronous panning; see https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Mozilla/Performance/ScrollLinkedEffects for further details and to join the discussion on related tools and features!

Expected results:

The URL in the console message should have linked to an MDN page that exists.

It looks like something that regressed in MDN not long ago: https://github.com/mdn/content/issues/1533
But it would be good to update the URL in mozilla-central too.

kats, would you know where it was moved to?

Looks like the page was archived: https://github.com/mdn/archived-content/blob/b7b6516b2b522533e8ba51cb944700ace7dace4d/files/en-us/mozilla/performance/scroll-linked_effects/index.html

(I left a comment for MDN folks at https://github.com/mdn/content/issues/1533#issuecomment-893099531, leaving this ni on me until I get a response as that will determine how we should tackle this error)

This was archived some time ago. The problem is that last month the archive stopped being built along with mdn/content (this was a surprise to me too). There is no intent to bring the archive back.

I'll ask my team member if anything is recoverable from that - or do you know if there is an alterative page that does what you need on mdn?

Best way to track discussion is the github issue https://github.com/mdn/content/issues/1532

Ah I found https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/performance/scroll-linked_effects.html which seems to have the content from that page. I'll update the link to point there.

(Note that the source for the firefox-source-docs page is in-tree, at https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/docs/performance/scroll-linked_effects.md, so that's an added benefit)
