https://www.mozilla.org/community/mirroring.html
https://www.mozilla.org/community/mirrors.html

Recommendation

= https://www.mozilla.org/community/mirroring.html
Mozilla no longer accepts community mirrors. Everything is CDN. I think this is a case where this page should be deleted and no redirect should be created.

= https://www.mozilla.org/community/mirrors.html
This content is generated and is still important. However this content is related to downloading content across mozilla. To me this does not belong on mozilla.org
I think we should find a place for this either on MDN or elsewhere. 

Based on bug 789966 it looks like Nick is the stakeholder for this and we can run by our collective thoughts with him.

Jenn - opinions on the above

I'm not aware of any use for this page and think we can just delete it too. Perhaps you have some other information ?

Either way you'll need to talk to IT about their cron job which generates it. I suggest Jake Maul and justdave (CC'd).

I agree with the above. Double checking with GA both these pages get very little traffic.

114 and 1096 page views the last month.

I will create a blocker bug for turning off the cron job. Once that is complete we will delete these pages without redirection.

Once the content is migrated we'll need to delete it from SVN. If it's the last thing in the community directory, we should also delete /community.

Comment 7

[Ben (:bensternthal)]

Deleted from svn once tested (testing here means page is not found) we can push.

Comment 8

[Ben (:bensternthal)]

Note per comment #6 - there is still one page in here:

community/directory.html that was updated this january.

I will open a sep bug to see if we can also remove that page and delete the directory.

Comment 9

[Ben (:bensternthal)]

Looks like that bug already exists:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=885797

Nothing more to do here.
