If you have

migrated a page from www.mozilla.org and want the original location to redirect to the new location, add the URL below. Please list the actual files, not just a directory. For example, to redirect the page at the URL foo/ please list foo/index.html as needing a redirect.

 

Once you've added a needed redirect to this page, please add a comment to bug 308518 to let the magic web elves know that something needs to be done.

Redirected; please verify and remove from list

Needs Redirect (New Entries)

Pages reviewed by jorendorff

All these changes are good and the redirect can go forward, except:

  • The "BugAThon" is defunct; that page should instead redirect to something about bugdays and testdays on quality.mozilla.org. The page on dev.m.o should be deleted.
  • This shouldn't hold up the redirecting process, but on a few of these pages, HTML examples aren't rendering properly. This is a regression. The fix is to upload screenshots.
