781197 - web console help redirect is malformed under new mdn (kuma)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

typing "help" in the console should take us to a help page. The redirect now appears to be broken.

Okay, I *think* I just fixed this. The above URL redirects here, now:

    https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Web_Console/Helpers

And that looks like helpful stuff to me, anyway.

Please fix for Non-English locale.

Just had to create a redirect page, didn't have to change any code:
    https://developer.mozilla.org/ja/AppLinks/WebConsoleHelp

Looks like it's working to me

Japanese is OK. But, other locale? In Deki, locale redirect automatically, if there isn't user's locale page,  fallback English.

This needs to be fixed for all locales, not just English. Any ideas, :lorchard?

Like I said: Redirect pages for the locales. That, or a hardcoded redirect for the locales. I don't think there's really a relevant code fix

Does it fall back to English if the page isn't there for a locale?

it should. That was the intent for our DevTools documentation in the absence of localized content.

Thanks for the fix!
