Deprecated macros page may be removed

Open bsmth opened this issue 3 years ago • 5 comments

Since https://github.com/mdn/content/pull/22104, the deprecated macros page has no content. It might be a good idea to remove this entirely.

I'm all for it. This is a remnant of the wiki era when macros were staying for a very long time, now we delete them fairly quickly, and we use GitHub (discussions/issues/…) to inform translators about the work that has to be done to replace them.

Thanks @teoli2003, I've assigned myself on this one, but I can hold off on changes to see if there are any objections.

Yeah, it's not empty yet: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/MDN/Writing_guidelines/Page_structures/Macros/Deprecated_macros.

FWIW I agree we're in a pretty good state that we could delete this - we run removals as projects now, so a call for help like this is more noise than value.

It's empty now since the latest deploy,
