Retired Page Record

(Retired)

We took this page down and meant to.

It described a way of working we no longer stand behind. Rather than quietly edit history, we retired it and wrote something better in its place.

Published

Retired

Reason
Superseded

Retired pages keep their address so old citations do not break.

About this block

Retired Page RecordPRO

Monochrome page for deliberately removed content: a display headline, a ruled record of when it was published, retired and why, then a pill link to the replacement beside an archive link.

Error33: Retired Page Record

The page for content that was removed on purpose: a display headline, a ruled record of when it was published, when it was retired and why, then a pill link to whatever replaced it.

This installs the block to components/beste/block/error33.tsx, plus the two design-system primitives it renders through: badge7 for the parenthetical eyebrows and button12 for the pill call to action.

Quick start

The installed file exports error33Demo alongside the block: the exact props behind the preview above. Spread it to get a working retirement notice in one line.

tsx
import { Error33, error33Demo } from "@/components/beste/block/error33";

export default function Gone() {
  return <Error33 {...error33Demo} />;
}

Then pass the record for the page that was taken down:

tsx
import { Error33 } from "@/components/beste/block/error33";

export default function Gone() {
  return (
    <Error33
      badge={{ label: "Retired" }}
      heading="We took this page down <strong>and meant to</strong>."
      description="It described a way of working we no longer stand behind."
      labels={{
        recordTitle: "The record",
        note: "Retired pages keep their address so old citations do not break.",
      }}
      rows={[
        { title: "Published", value: "March 2023" },
        { title: "Retired", value: "June 2026" },
        { title: "Reason", value: "Superseded" },
      ]}
      button={{ label: "Read what replaced it", href: "/writing/current" }}
      link={{ label: "Browse the full archive", href: "/archive" }}
    />
  );
}

Behavior notes

  • The record is a dl laid out as a ruled grid, three columns from the sm breakpoint up, with each pair under its own top border rather than inside a boxed cell.
  • Values sit at display size above their small muted labels, so dates read as the primary information in each cell.
  • The note under the actions is deliberately separate from the description: it explains the policy (the URL stays alive) rather than the specific page, so it can stay constant across every retired page.
  • Serving this block with a 410 Gone status rather than a 404 tells crawlers the removal was intentional, which is the case this layout is written for.
  • Everything is static markup with no client state, so the page renders on the server and works with JavaScript disabled.
