Quick answers - map content to new site for 3 sections

[llienfec]

We're looking at what to do with "quick answers" section on old site & transition. Before redirecting these three sections, we need to make sure that all of the information in the sections are on the new site somewhere.

Quick answers sections to map to new site:

• General
• Disclosure
• Compliance

To do:

• make a doc mapping old content to the new content
• come up with one or two suggested strategies for redirects
• figure out who we need to talk to about redirecting the content
• work with those offices
• additional item: create a path from "understanding ways to support federal candidates" to "introduction to campaign finance" page
• make an implementation ticket

I set up the chart and got started mapping content today. Looking to pick back up tomorrow.

Finished the quick answers inventory. If you'd like different links, feel free to update!

@dorothyyeager I have a couple of questions about what we should do next. I'm not 100% sure what the redirect strategy should be.

Structure of quick answers section:

• Main page has topic links and quick answer anchor links
• There's a child page for each topic has quick answer anchor links and quick answer content

Are we able to redirect anchor links? Or can we only redirect the main link?

I think we need to check with @patphongs on the redirecting anchor links question.

I looked at the code for our current redirects and we have one written (seems to be done properly) for https://transition.fec.gov/ans/answers_compliance.shtml#embezzlement1 but it doesn't seem to work. (It's supposed to redirect to https://www.fec.gov/help-candidates-and-committees/keeping-records/misappropriated-funds/.)

Good to know. Thanks for following up with Pat on this. It looks like we'll have to make general redirects for each of the sections. I have suggestions for those in the spreadsheet as well.

Redirect plan:

• General - https://www.fec.gov/introduction-campaign-finance/understanding-ways-support-federal-candidates/
• Disclosure - https://www.fec.gov/introduction-campaign-finance/understanding-ways-support-federal-candidates/
• Compliance - https://www.fec.gov/legal-resources/enforcement/

Additional work:

• create a path from "understanding ways to support federal candidates" to "introduction to campaign finance" page

Planning and research work is finished. Redirect implementation issue is at #2425. Closing issue.
