[Qgis-community-team] old docs on website

[Harrissou]

Hi guys,

I thought that adding a banner with link at the top of the pages (I know that one is perfectible in 2.x versions), setting a canonical url and a bunch of page redirections would help us mitigate the issues. Any idea how long it could take to have the canonical url be the first result ( afaiu, the latest docs is now among first results while 2.8/2.2 used to be the first years ago)?
For information, a related issue report and discussion at https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Documentation/issues/6449 (I have no knowledge on these SEO things and would welcome more experts inputs).

Would killing 2.x docs push latest to the top? While quite old, I met recently two users (in different contexts) that were bound to these 2.x versions due to their computer limitations (iirc a mac user in one case, through kyngchaos). And with the current pandemic situation where everyone needs a computer that works, it's likely that not all can get one running all the recent libraries of 3.x. And l guess docs is still necessary for them (we do not have zipped html for these, do we?).

No opinion, just wanted to share and maybe let us consider whether there are less "drastic" options first.

Regards,
Harrissou

Hi Richard, 

thanks for raising this. I think that having old documentation (very old!) is probably causing more confusion than benefits. 

I'm with Alexandre: burn them! :) 

Cheers
