Add a removing reason to the page "Oops! We can’t find that page"

Open Juraj-Masiar opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Describe the problem and steps to reproduce it:

Visit addon page: // removed https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flash-videodownloader/ // probably author removed https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/enhancer-for-youtube/ // author disabled https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fast_firefox_send/ // non-existing https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/asdffdalkdfjklsajdflkjasdlkfj/

What happened?

It says either Mozilla removed it or author removed it.

What did you expect to happen?

It should say the truth! For example: "Removed by Mozilla", "Removed by author", "Invalid link"

Also, you may want to reply with HTTP 451 when it has been removed due to legal reasons. After all “451 Unavailable For Legal Reasons” already explains a lot.

Ref coming from this issue/background, where exactly that happened. Ref https://github.com/mozilla/addons/issues/1561

As replied in https://github.com/mozilla/addons/issues/1561 we do reply with HTTP 451 for regional legal restrictions.

Still relevant, transparency is important :)
