644290 - organic page should be deleted

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc]

The organic page is broken and should be deleted

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/organic/

The redirect should be in .htaccess and replace this one (lien 118):

RewriteRule ^(\w{2,3}(?:-\w{2}(?:-mac)?)?/)?organic[/]?$ /$1firefox/organic/ [R=permanent]

Wow - very broken. John, this is okay to retire, right?

Comment 2

[John Slater]

Yes.

Cc-ing Ryan here to see if he has any best practices on how to properly retire old pages.

[Ryan Snyder [:ryansnyder] [:rsnyder] [:rysny]]

Individual pages can be retired with a simple redirect in .htaccess like Pascal described.  Redirecting users appropriately is the primary concern when retiring individual pages.  If that page were collecting user information, we would want to look into expunging data for privacy purposes, but it doesn't like that is applicable for this particular page.

Is it ok to redirect this page to http://www.mozilla.com/ ? (That will redirect to the good locale, redirect to /new or /fx for en-US, etc)
