Policies document uses lowercase id="copyright" #622

Closed csarven closed 3 days ago

csarven commented 3 months ago

Minor issue (if you want to call it that):

The old reference to https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/ipr-notice#Copyright now redirects to https://www.w3.org/policies/#Copyright (in the browser). Noting that the redirected document includes id="copyright" (lowercase "copyright").

This may well be intended going forward but I just wanted to flag it in case it needs any attention. Perhaps as part of other issues / tasks that take fragment identifiers on redirected into account.

See also:

This issue may be better in another w3c repository but I couldn't identify one. Move/close issue as you see fit.

Note that the link in your first bullet is broken. It should be https://github.com/search?q=org%3Aw3c+https%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2FConsortium%2FLegal%2Fipr-notice%23Copyright&type=code (note the + which could be a %20 following q=org%3Aw3c)

Note that the redirect is from https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/ipr-notice to https://www.w3.org/policies/; the #Copyright is strictly client-side.

If a change is needed, it would probably be to change the link from https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/ipr-notice#Copyright to https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/ipr-notice#copyright (or, probably better, to https://www.w3.org/policies/#copyright). It might be appropriate to add a second fragment ID in the https://www.w3.org/policies/ document, such that the client browser lands at the same place for both #Copyright and #copyright.

All of this would be easier to discuss and address if we had a link to the occurrence of the uppercase #Copyright url you encountered in whatever document that was!

Yes, I'm aware it is client side which is why I said "in the browser" to avoid that discussion =)

Example references to https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/ipr-notice#Copyright published by different software, groups, and time:

Note the diff in https://github.com/w3c/specberus/pull/1783/files where the old is using "Copyright". And yes, the identifier did actually exist, e.g., https://web.archive.org/web/20230501044822/https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/2002/ipr-notice-20021231#Copyright . Interestingly in that archived snapshot, the document includes ids for both lowercase and uppercase "c".

Any way.. not sure if there is much to do at this point. The PR aboe seemed to acknowledge that change in a way and perhaps it becomes a non-issue for new documents in a long enough time line. Published documents refererring to "Copyright" will get redirected without the browser scrolling the fragment to view.

Again, just wanted to flag it perhaps this issue belongs somewhere else.

@plehegar @koalie Is there any repo we can move this issue to?

@frivoal transfer done!

Fixed by adding a span with uppercase Copyright as existed on the old page. Thanks @csarven for the bug report and additional pointers.
