668176 - change mozilla news link away from mozillazine

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Websites :: wiki.mozilla.org, defect)

Description

[Carsten Book [:Tomcat]]

I think we should consider a change to blog.mozilla.com or a other site (maybe planet) but not link to mozillazine. Mozillazine is not a official mozilla site (also MozillaZine's news site has gone into hibernation).

Tomcat, good point.  It doesn't matter if Mozillazine is an official site or not, but the fact that it no longer has current news is an issue.  I'm all for pointing that link to Planet or somewhere else that makes sense.

CC'ing some other people with more wiki access than I do.

blog.mozilla.com would be a great place to point for mozilla news.  thx for filing the bug, tomcat!

hey gerv,

just go to https://wiki.mozilla.org/Main_Page (or any other wiki page) and then on the left side in the "navigation" box. called "Mozilla News" - 3rd point

For me, it's called "Current Events" (I am using the default 'gmo' skin). Perhaps we should rename it?

Anyway, this seems a fine change to me.

These links are not hardcoded in the template, but are in db. Some of the Mozilla Wiki admins need to do this. CCing reed.
