Do we need redirects to send these people to the right place? Is skipping these meaningfully different from removing the content from the main branch entirely? |
I don't think so, people shouldn't have created links to the contrib pages. The sources on the Analytics are all search engines. I would like to keep it, for now at least, possibly condensing it into a single file. |
Shouldn't we make the search engines send people to the right place?
I'd much prefer that instead of removing |
What sort of numbers are we looking at?

Today, up to now, there were 2100 unique visitors. 1500 of whom visited the version page, this will skew all statistics, so I exclude it. This leaves 600, for reference, 265 of these visited the index (~44%), and 80 visited a /contrib/ page (~13%). |

Here's a PR to remove the directory from Given that the source stays in git, this would have the same effect as excluding it from the build. Either way, we can no longer see the rendered version onling. |

From the new analytics, it is clear a significant portion of (non-version page) readers are ending up on these pages, I would assume primarily because they appear in search results. As such, I suggest disabling building them.
