Identify old/legacy code and clean it up

[jywarren]

This is a big long-term project, related to https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues/956, and I found a bunch of tools we can use to find old unused code:

https://github.com/evilmartians/terraforming-rails

https://test-prof.evilmartians.io/

https://github.com/amatsuda/traceroute

Let's discuss and this is something we can try periodically!

Hello, @jywarren !

I installed traceroute and ran it, and I got this output.

Unused routes (39):
  /spec/javascripts/fixtures
  /sidekiq
  rusers#index
  rusers#create
  rusers#new
  rusers#edit
  rusers#show
  rusers#update
  rusers#update
  rusers#destroy
  user_sessions#edit
  user_sessions#show
  user_sessions#update
  user_sessions#update
  images#index
  images#edit
  images#show
  images#update
  images#update
  images#destroy
  features#show
  features#destroy
  users#index
  openid#wsdl
  subscription#following
  csvfiles#new
  place#feed
  legacy#image
  subscription#notes
  tag#add_tag
  tag#remove_tag
  tag#remove_all_tags
  home#nearby
  users#settings
  users#map
  stats#maps
  stats#maps
  editor#choose
  editor#tempfunc

Unreachable action methods (19):
  comment#get_react_comments
  comment#create_comment
  home#blog
  images#delete
  map#new
  map#create
  openid#show_decision_page
  openid#url_for_user
  stats#all_time_stats
  stats#export_as_json
  subscription#tag_count
  subscription#followed
  user_sessions#handle_site_login_flow
  user_sessions#handle_social_login_flow
  user_tags#suggested
  users#followed
  wiki#subdomain
  wiki#update_node_attributes
  wiki#update_tags

I think we can go and see what these particular routes and controller actions do. If we need them, we can bring them back, or deprecate them slowly.
