What to do with non-functional pages
Due to the website currently being a static dump of the old interactive website a lot of things currently don't really work. Examples:
-
/services/m=bugtracker_v4/index-2.html
. A page to report bugs, but those are supposed to be posted on GitLab instead and doesn't actually work -
/services/m=advert
. None of the pages there actually work, they're all blank. -
/services/m=adventurers-log
. I was actually excited when I saw this as I used to love the adventurer log, but sadly it doesn't work and there doesn't currently seem to be a way to retrieve the required info for such functionality at all. -
/services/m=forum
. Seems to be a dump of the old forum at the time. Quite a lot of pages are in there but no links actually work. I also wonder what the use is of keeping this around. -
/services/m=itemdb_rs
. The pages display, but the prices shown are completely outdated and wrong. I don't see use in keeping it around if it's not going to show updated info. -
/services/m=poll
. Well the pages work, but those are polls from 2009 and before. They're not linked anywhere either and the navigation bar on those pages link to non-existing pages.
There is probably more. If the goal is archival than I would rather let that be done by the Wayback machine (for example https://web.archive.org/web/20091208041147if_/http://www.runescape.com/title.ws) or keep that in a separate repo. Currently this repository is quite big to clone because of a lot of this stuff and it doesn't even represent the current state of 2009scape.
What are your thoughts?
