Drupal 7 form API reference issues / maintenance

Created on 4 December 2022, almost 2 years ago
Updated 14 March 2023, over 1 year ago

Documentation location/URL

There is a separate form API reference documentation for Drupal 7 and earlier, which is not a part of regular d.o. content, but needs to be edited via documentation git repository - https://git.drupalcode.org/project/documentation/-/tree/7.x-1.x.

Problem/Motivation

Last commit to this repository was approx. 4,5 years ago from @jhodgdon. I do not see any further activity in that repository, despite we have reported issues with this documentation here. Most problematic should be 404 links, which we do not want in DOC pages. See:

Do we have a maintainer for this form API reference these days, or we need a new one? Drupal 7 is still not EOL, so I think it is important to keep that documentation page actual and without problems.

Proposed resolution

Fix at least most important issues with the form API reference and / or appoint a new maintainer of this form API reference documentation.

    There are still users who can commit on this repository. I am not sure they are still active.
    I guess it would be possible to offering to be maintainers, but I do not think that the usual procedure would apply for this project. We cannot ask to site moderators to add a new maintainer because the existing ones did not reply in time, given the particular importance of this project, which is not a module used in few sites.

    Thanks for the response. We solved this with @eojthebrave here: #3278966: Incorrect links on Drupal 7 form API and on the Slack (https://drupal.slack.com/archives/C220WV2TW/p1670197312285919), so probably the maintainership question is not such important not, as the problems are fixed. The main thing was that I was not sure if there was anyone with the maintainership rights active, as some of the issues had been around for a long time.

    Probably we can close this for now.

    @poker10 If you think there are not problems with issues that are not quickly resolved, or those issues do not exist, this issue can be closed.

    Ok, closing this for now. Most important issues were fixed and if someone wants to fix others, then @eojthebrave can commit changes (if it's important/relevant enough in this D7 phase).

    Thanks.
