I've been reading the handbooks a lot lately and found numerous pages that link to http://drupal.org/translators. The url alias still point to the old landing page which is now called "Technical background on interface translations". Can we now point ".../translators" to http://drupal.org/node/296338 which is the new landing page?

Cheers,

John

Title: Point the url alias ".../translators" to the new landing page. » 301 redirect".../translators" to the new landing page "contribute/translations"

http://drupal.org/node/296338 has an alias of contribute/translations already.

So, we should do a 301 from "translators" to "contribute/translations"

There's a valid page at /translators so we can't do this anymore.

Yeah, the suggestion is that although we do have a valid page there that is not the suggested landing page anymore. http://drupal.org/translators (is desperately outdated) and is in fact the first child page to http://drupal.org/contribute/translations which seems to be the current landing page for translations.

Here's how it is right now:

Getting Involved

Before 17th of August 2008, http://drupal.org/translators was the landing page but demoted as a child page (ref: http://drupal.org/node/11130/revisions/view/364098/1249116) . Since it is now a child page with content that has been changed in the last 2 years, its alias does not fit its content anymore. The present landing page (ref: http://drupal.org/node/296338/revisions/view/341493/1248560) has now been renamed to "Translate Drupal to your language " thus its present alias fits its content.

The desired course of action will be:

  1. Delete the "/translators" alias from http://drupal.org/node/11130 "Translation process overview" because the alias:
    1. does not fit the docs page content anymore; and
    2. it is still being linked as the landing page in some doc pages, afaik.
  2. Since "/translators" will now give a 404, we can 301-redirect it to the present landing page ( http://drupal.org/contribute/translations)., so we can redirect the users to the correct landing page.

Do we have any facility on drupal.org beyond .htaccess rewrite rules to implement the redirect? (I'd be happy to contribute the rewrite rule, but not if there are better ways obviously :) Something like this should work:

RewriteRule ^translators$ /contribute/translations [L,R=301]
