Tracking removal of deprecated macros

[schalkneethling]

I am starting this discussion as a means to track the work around removing deprecated macros started by @mdn/owd.

Thank you @caugner for this incredibly useful tool. I will post updates this on a weekly basis.

Tagging @mdn/yari-content and @mdn/localization-team-leads

Yes, we removed them last year. Once they are gone from mdn/translated-content, we can delete them.

We usually add the deprecated flags once we have removed them from en-US.

[yin1999]

After mdn/translated-content#9813 is settled. All the deprecated macros (expect {{page}} macros: mdn/translated-content#3894, mdn/translated-content#3893) are removed from l10n-zh.

[SphinxKnight]

@yin1999 awesome for zh-CN and zh-TW :) 🙇

[schalkneethling]

@Graywolf9 darn, my bad. I forgot to update content and translated-content :)

[schalkneethling]

@Graywolf9 updated. Thank you for the heads up.

[nschonni]

The script might need to be updated, as the instances for warning are actually escaped macros like \{{warning}}, which still need to be removed, but aren't actually required anymore in Yari

@caugner ^^

[caugner]

@nschonni As you say, those instances still need to be removed, so I would think it's okay to count them here. As for the meta page listing some deprecated macros, we will probably remove that list or page soon.

[SphinxKnight]

hello @mdn/localization-team-leads , {{ServiceWorkerSidebar}} joined the party (see mdn/yari#7645 and mdn/translated-content#10170 )

[wbamberg]

Also {{WebRTCSidebar}} will (I hope) soon be deprecated: mdn/translated-content#10177.

[nschonni]

Maybe off topic, but will those sidebars also be replaced by the page types?

[wbamberg]

For now they'll be replaced by the standard sidebars for Web/API, which are DefaultAPISidebar.ejs (for API overviews and guides) and APIRRef.ejs (for interfaces and their members).

Eventually I think (hope/advocate) that page types will be the mechanism we can use to decide which pages get which sidebars, so they will replace all the explicit sidebar macro calls in content, meaning that the choice of sidebar is no longer made by authors.

[wbamberg]

I've now removed all four custom sidebar macros from en-US, asked for them all to be deprecated, and filed tracking issues for their removal from translated-content:

• ServiceWorkerSidebar: Chore: macro depreciation: ServiceWorkerSidebar to be removed translated-content#10170
• WebRTCSidebar: Chore: macro deprecation: WebRTCSidebar should be removed translated-content#10177
• CanvasSidebar: Chore: macro deprecation: CanvasSidebar should be removed translated-content#10516
• WebGLSidebar: Chore: macro deprecation: WebGLSidebar should be removed translated-content#10540

[Graywolf9]

All listed macros done for es !

[JuanVqz]

Thanks @Graywolf9 🚀

[mfuji09]

Perhaps ja has been completed.

[SphinxKnight]

mdn/translated-content#11131

[estelle]

ARIARoles() macro is now gone from content on mdn/content

[SphinxKnight]

Thanks @estelle, I'll try to push an updated table tonight (if I don't forget once again :x )

[SphinxKnight]

@estelle is there an existing PR to deprecate it in Yari?

[estelle]

@teoli2003 has a PR: mdn/yari#8025

[SphinxKnight]

Great work @mdn/yari-content-es @mdn/yari-content-ja @mdn/yari-content-zh

[Graywolf9]

Thank you! I'm not sure how that instance of page keeps existing after the cleanup, but done fo es

[yin1999]

Hi @Graywolf9, there is one deprecated macro left in files/es/web/api/screen/index.md:58. Thank you for your great job on macro removal :)

[Graywolf9]

That should be done in mdn/translated-content#11638

Thanks!
