What to do with out of date pages

[Chris Ilias]

A couple of weeks ago, someone posted in the support.firefox newsgroup
about overlapping text, citing
<http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/SFD3>, which was used during the
old web site theme, and is not going to be used.

There are a couple other admin articles that are not need anymore:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Searching+the+Knowledge+Base+using+Google
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/SUMO+Day

Plus there are out of date articles:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Hotmail+full+version+does+not+work+in+Firefox+3
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/TypeError+avg_DTFox+prefs+has+no+properties

Articles that do not apply after Firefox 2:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Window+shakes
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/DOM+Inspector
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Quality+Feedback+Agent

I'm probably missing more.

So what do we do with those pages? Remove? Move to an "archive"
category? Redirect?

Please do not delete pages. People may have linked to these pages in
forums, etc. and when they are deleted this is no benefit for anyone.

I would suggest to create an archive category where old pages are
moved to and which is not searchable for unregistered users. If you
search for a term in the KB, archived articles should be excluded from
the result list.

This would also be a solution for "unwanted monkey articles", that
should not be visible for the average user but for contributors (e.g.
for translators who would like to use parts of translated text in
another page).
