Description of problem: Following discussion on fedora-docs-list re: Legacy, it may (or may not) be useful to have standard notices for documents at different stages of support (Current/Legacy/Obsolete), in the same way that there is a standard notice for draft documents. Mailing list link: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-docs-list/2005-April/msg00134.html Attached is a possible "Obsolete Document" notice, similar to the draft notice. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): N/A How reproducible: Read an old document :) Actual results: It may not be obvious whether the document is current or not. Expected results: Is obvious that the document is historical, and there is a link to the Website to look for a later version. Additional info:
Created attachment 113293 [details] Possible "Obsolete Document" notice

Stuart, I like the text you wrote. I made only minor style revisions. Should we tie this in with a required &FCLOCALVER; entity, so that when a reader gets a legacy or obsolete document, they know exactly at which version of Fedora Core their document version stalled?
I would say yes...perhaps file a separate RFE and cross-link them ? &FCLOCALVER; may be a separate issue from stamping documents as Safe/Old/At-Your-Own-Risk, as the new entity could be used within the text, as well as the header. When we agree the process we could make a mock document and run it all the way through the lifecycle, with both the headers and entity to see how they work out in practice.
