782360 - Documentation links for mobile add-on development are wrong

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Developer Pages, defect)

Description

[:Margaret Leibovic]

On this page [1], the mobile add-on doc links point to docs about XUL Fennec, but that's no longer our released mobile browser. Instead, we should make these links point to the appropriate MDN pages that were recently created for Fennec Native [2].

Also, I would love to see the Thunderbird and Mobile add-on docs split into their own pages, but that's just because I think mobile add-ons are important enough to get their own doc page :)

Is there a place I can make a PR? I feel like just removing bad links would even be a start.

Or I can also update all those mobile wiki pages to include warning banners to redirect people to the relevant documentation. It seems like at least one of them already redirects people to relevant documentation.
