Hello! I noticed that there are quite a few feeds on Planet Drupal that no longer work or point to sites that no longer exist. In addition to giving a misleading impression to site visitors, having too many broken links on a page can also hurt SEO. Furthermore, the Planet Drupal guidelines are clear that feeds may be removed if they no longer work.

I am able to add and remove feeds from Planet and would be happy to help clean up these inactive feeds if folks would like me to do so.

I ran a search earlier today on https://www.drupal.org/planet using Integrity and came up with the following feed links with error messages:

Title: Removing inactive feeds from Planet Drupal » Remove inactive feeds from Planet Drupal
apaderno’s picture

Thank you for reporting this!
Since the list of feeds doesn't show the feed URL, it's quite difficult to find what needs to be deleted. Even searching for the domain name in this issue queue (for example, chillco.com) it doesn't find the issue used to request adding the feed to Planet Drupal.

apaderno’s picture

I am looking all those feeds for which the feed list reports 0 articles, but I only found feeds with articles too old to be shown on Planet Drupal (which means older than 3 months and 3 weeks ago), so far.

apaderno’s picture

These are the feeds that, for a reason or another, aren't returning any feed, and which I removed.

I will update the list with the removed feed URLs.

apaderno’s picture

I found a better way to find those feeds that are returning any HTTP error: On the Recent log messages, I can see error messages like the following.

The feed from Charlie Gordon seems to be broken, due to "500 Domain Not Found".

Since the error message contains the feed title assigned on the feed list page, it's easier to remove those feeds.

gdemet’s picture

I don't have access to that page, but that definitely sounds like an easier way to identify feeds that are throwing errors.

apaderno’s picture

(Just as reminder to myself: The next time, I have to start from https://www.drupal.org/admin/reports/dblog?page=5, XIO Blog.)

apaderno’s picture

I think I found all the feeds for which a HTTP error is returned.
There are still feeds showing warnings in https://www.drupal.org/admin/reports/dblog, but they are for parsing errors. I am not sure if the feeds are shown in Planet Drupal, or those feeds are excluded because of those errors.

Status: Active » Fixed

Thanks! I'm ready to call this fixed, at least for another year or so :-)

apaderno’s picture

Looking at today's log, I found three more feeds that were returning a HTTP error. For a feed, The Aggregator module was complaining about a permanent redirect, when it was sufficient to change from http:// to https://; I edited it, and Planet Drupal has articles from that feed back.

Status: Fixed » Closed (fixed)

Automatically closed - issue fixed for 2 weeks with no activity.
