[DEMO] Content Lifecycle — Stage 3: Obsolete

This is for:

Developer
THIS IS ARCHIVED DOCUMENTATION
Note

This is a demo page created to illustrate the Stage 3 (Obsolete) lifecycle state. It was created as part of the content retention system introduced in DOC-18836.

This article has been marked as obsolete. The archived banner at the top of the page is automatically injected by the layout when :page-content-status: obsolete is set.

The page remains published and indexed (:page-no-index: false) while inbound traffic drains. A replacement article or redirect should be in place within 6 months of the :page-obsolete-date:.

How this state is reached

An article enters Stage 3 when a human reviewer determines during the weekly rotation that the content is:

  • Clearly outdated or superseded by another article

  • Referencing an end-of-life product or feature

  • No longer relevant to the audience

The reviewer marks the decision in the chore PR; the agent then updates frontmatter and adds this banner.

Minimum hold time

6 months from :page-obsolete-date: before advancing to Stage 4 (Unpublished).

See DOC-18836 for the full lifecycle documentation.
