Highlights from this week
This week was mostly PR reviews and a few contributions across multiple areas of MDN:
A while ago, I wrote a docs page for the <meta name="robots" /> tag, so now I’m linking crawl-related mechanisms like robots.txt, relevant HTTP headers, and other HTML meta tags.
This should improve how our guidance on discoverability is surfaced and connected.
Vale.sh: I have been using vale to quickly detect repeated-word typos across pages. This looks like a promising tool, but our CI pipeline and other automations are already quite sophisticated, so experimenting using vale here seems like quite a deep optimization that I’m not super keen to push now. It’s important to balance priorities here seeing as there’s a lot more timely reviews and content additions we need to make in the short-term.
I also made a few more automation fixes, CI tweaks to ensure the PR Review Companion only runs on the primary MDN repo.
