Remove translation from MDN main page [edit] we need to add a macro, removal is not possible

[lapineige]

Old translation of https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/B2G_OS are still here (as a legacy of Firefox OS period). They are no longer relevant - and not really useful for future translation. They should be removed* to avoid confusing people - if their read translation, they don't see the (updated) English page.

• [x] * Update: translation can't be removed, we should add a macro at the top of the page {{ObsoleteTranslation("https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-fxos","the dev-fxos mailing list")}}

Anyone know how to remove all those pages ? (if possible in a single shot, they are quite numerous...)

I'll ask Chris Mills.

Feedback from Chris:

Normal pages can only be deleted by admins. Translations can’t be deleted at all, which is a bit of a shortcoming of the MDN site. To help with this, I made the following macro: {{ObsoleteTranslation("https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-fxos","the dev-fxos mailing list")}} you can see it in action in https://developer.mozilla.org/fr/Firefox_OS

So the answer is, translations cannot be removed.

Thanks @Ryuno-Ki :smiley: That's an important thing to keep in mind, we can't remove pages easily.

So let's use this macro on every translated pages. (main task edited)

chrisdavidmills changed /Mozilla/Firefox_OS to /Mozilla/B2G_OS at May 4, 2016, 5:00:02 PM. Can he also change /ko/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS to /ko/docs/Mozilla/B2G_OS?

I guess it's possible. We should ask it, but I suppose it's a manual change. It's better to do it for all translation, rather than contacting him every time we have a new translation (and there is a lot of translations). But I a imagine it's a manual process for all the translation, let's wait for a couple of them to be ready, let's say 5 of them
