Closed joolswood closed 7 years ago

joolswood commented 8 years ago

What do you need?

Decision on whether we can advise to remove the www from URLs yet.

Which entry/section is this related to?

http://content-style-guide.apps.staging.digital.gov.au/az-indexes/h.html#hyperlinks

Good example

https://pages.18f.gov/content-guide/urls-and-filenames/

Clinic agreed to drop the www

joolswood commented 7 years ago

Comments from @klepas "I think it’s OK to advise dropping it, provided (as you noted) they ensure the shorthand with the prefix omitted works. DNS, URL/URI changes can always happen, and something we can’t control."

klepas commented 7 years ago

Just adding: some sites aren’t set up to route without www — this can be a constraint, or just a lack of config.

joolswood commented 7 years ago

@klepas better?

klepas commented 7 years ago

@joolswood I added a comment based on the edits you made in the PR.

@klepas did I miss a comment? I can't see anything. Or do you think it needs to be more explicit about the why?

klepas commented 7 years ago

@joolswood Ah, my bad — I’m confused as to how GH reviews works — you have to add your note to a line, and then click ‘Submit review’ in the top right of the files changed view tab it seems.

Should be there now on the PR: https://github.com/AusDTO/gov-au-content-guide/pull/204#pullrequestreview-7572216

joolswood commented 7 years ago

Just added a commit for this @klepas https://github.com/AusDTO/gov-au-content-guide/pull/204/commits/6c3721eacfb7125f3e38e87bfff12d0e1d6cf5fa But I'm still a bit concerned though that the difference between a redirect and a routed URL is not clear. It's not 100% clear to me. How would an average user work out which one a site used (don't say just look at the URL :p)
