Details

The MDN changes last year resulted in a bunch of dead links and some effort has been put into identifying important items. There is a small number of dead links in extension related docs that we should cleanup, see the spreadsheet in the url.

Hey Richard, can you perhaps look into this?

Severity: -- → N/A
Flags: needinfo?(richard)
Priority: -- → P3

I've requested access to the spreadsheet and I'll set up an issue on Github to prioritize and track

Flags: needinfo?(richard) → needinfo?(mixedpuppy)

Shared the doc, let me know if you still can't access it.

I can access the spreadsheet, thank you. However, looking at the content I'm unclear what is broken and what I should be fixing and where.

Flags: needinfo?(tomica)

Column A is the file in mozilla-central, and Column B is the dead link. Either we need to point to a new location, or rework the documentation. We're only looking at extension related entries in that sheet.

e.g.

toolkit/mozapps/extensions/docs/index.rst https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/Add-on_Manager

is here: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/f7a791e356b5d2bbd761ca2732bd33ef118b06ad/toolkit/mozapps/extensions/docs/index.rst#9

and maybe should link to https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/toolkit/mozapps/extensions/addon-manager/AddonManager.html

OK, understood. Not sure if these changes would fall under my remit. Will check.
