Hi,
    while reading the Gentoo website, I noticed a couple of outdated links in this page:

http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/articles.xml

The LPI exam prep homepage is now:

Curtis, could we remove this page/make it point to /doc/en/articles/ instead? I don't want to remove it (in case it's linked from other places) before verifying...so I though I'd ask you before doing anything.

Thanks!

I haven't talked about it with neysx but all the bugs about it and the chat on irc indicate that now that we have all of the articls converted to GuideXML that we are going to I would say change the "IBM dW/Intel article archive" link to point to /doc/en/articles/ instead of /main/en/articles with a link on that page to the old /main/en/articles/ page for historical purposes. 


I've updated the link in guide.xsl (in CVS) so if you would add the link to /main/en/articles on the /doc/en/articles/index.xml page then please cloe this bug.

Thanks fox2mike

I forgot to say that the following pages link to /main/en/articles so if you remove the page you will have to fix them (I don't have perms in gwn):

/news/en/gwn/20040503-newsletter.txt
/news/en/gwn/20030317-newsletter.txt
/news/en/gwn/20030317-newsletter.xml
/news/en/gwn/20040503-newsletter.xml
/news/pl/gwn/20040503-newsletter.xml
/news/fr/gwn/20030317-newsletter.xml
/news/be/gwn/20030317-newsletter.xml
/news/de/gwn/20030317-newsletter.xml
/news/br/gwn/20030317-newsletter.xml
/news/it/gwn/20030317-newsletter.xml
/news/it/gwn/20040503-newsletter.xml
/news/es/gwn/20030317-newsletter.xml

I take that back. I do have perms in GWN but not to the translations, only to en.

The files in my above comment are so old that they no longer pass the xml-qa-checker so I suggest simply leaving the old /main/en/articles/index.xml there or *someone* can fix the pages to pass the validation. I'll be happy to change them. 

neysx, what do you want to do?
Comment 5 Xavier Neys (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-07-11 02:20:00 UTC
Feeling like fixing all invalid GWNs? Good luck :)

I'd mention the old page on the new article index and add disclaimer="obsolete" to the old page along with a word about dead links we shan't fix and a link to the bug in case anyone feels like GuideXMLifying another article

eeek! No, not really but I would if you *wanted* me too (and paid me :D ).

OK, disclaimers and redirects only work for <guide> not <mainpage> so I converted /main/en/articles.xml to a <guide> page, added disclaimer and redirect and a paragraph at the beginning saying the broken links will not be fixed and a reference to the bug#.

I don't think you want this added to the metadoc though so fox2mike you should be good to go. I'm closing as fixed, re-open if I missed anything.

Thanks guys.
