Triage incoming links to webmaker.org that will break

[xmatthewx]

Review the logs and links to existing webmaker.org pages that will be retired when we launch the new site. Add to the list below. Anything not on the list will lead to a 404 page. The 404 page can include some helpful generic links as well. New redirects can be added as needed.

Tasks: Specify a redirect destination or remove link at the source

• Private Eye activity https://webmaker.org/en-US/private-eye linked from https://advocacy.mozilla.org/
• madewithcode.com/resources --> https://webmaker.org/en-US/madewithcode-meme
• code.org/learn/beyond
  • https://webmaker.org/en-US/tools should redirect to https://teach.mozilla.org/tools/ (this will cover code.org I believe)

Also:

• specify a generic link or two for 404 page, such as:
  • Looking for web literacy and teaching resources? --> teach dot

[ ] madewithcode.com/resources --> https://webmaker.org/en-US/madewithcode-poster and https://webmaker.org/en-US/madewithcode-firstwebpage too
[ ] can we keep webmaker.org/me functioning for now so people can find their existing makes? (or maybe that doesn't belong here) ;)

@adamlofting is it worth pulling an updated list of referrers? Original list ref'd above was from April.

@ldecoursy - I posted an issue about /me here: mozilla/id.webmaker.org#339

[xmatthewx]

When you have a list to implement, please assign to @mmmavis.

@ldecoursy - have you decided whether you want to accommodate the madewithcode pages? If so, we can re-create them on MLN and re-direct.

@Melechuga - not sure if you're the right person to ask about the Private Eye activity. It's currently linked to from advocacy.mozilla.org. That link will break when the new webmaker goes live. We could re-create that content elsewhere - either on teach.mozilla.org or advocacy.mozilla.org. What do you think?

[ldecoursy]

I think we should, since they're on list of top referring sites (although I don't know the numbers). If we have the resources to re-create them on MLN that sounds good to me!

[hannahkane]

I'll file tickets and see what we can do. :)

[Melechuga]

@hannahkane I'd confirm with @edrushka. Thanks!

@hannahkane - does your crew have capacity to re-create on teach.moz.org? That probably makes the most sense until the advocacy site gets its next refresh, which isn't even on the slate yet afaik.
