[Josh-Cena]

So I've personally excluded the 'Tools and setup' subtree from my dashboard (using the "configure include/exclude"). We need to renovate everything openwebdocs/project#207 and it's likely that many of the links don't work at all. From what I see, some of them are not redirecting to a page with the same purpose. What do you think?

Open to discussing about this though, I just haven't taken a look at this subtree. The requested changes are as below.

[OnkarRuikar]

A few points to discuss:
Why should we not use web archives? In the old FF release docs, we used them extensively because we wanted to preserve history.

• Google decommissioned its URL shortener. That is why I think we need to be careful about non-reputed URL shorners.
• The MDN warning tool needs a file that would maintain ignore list.

[Josh-Cena]

The MDN warning tool needs a file that would maintain ignore list.

We already do; it's under config/.

Why should we not use web archives?

Web archives are used when we need to specifically point to one website; for example, "web technology X" that's now obsolete and the website has been decommissioned. On the other hand, if we are just linking to a blog post to illustrate a point, then we can just pick another article to achieve the same effect.

I don't have huge problems with web archives but:

1. Sometimes sites are just off transiently. If we keep the link, it may be fixed without any action from us.
2. Web archives are slow to open, not automatically checkable, and are "stuck" forever.

we need to be careful about non-reputed link shorteners.

I'm fairly sure that this is an official Mozilla shortener, no?

Google is infamous for tearing down its own products. I don't think we need to distrust other shorteners, especially when it has already been there for many years.
