Talk:Forward

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Knowledge_Base_changes#Extension_listings_in_the_Knowledge_Base

We never came to a consensus but did agree that any articles about extensions shouldn't be just for marketing. If you look at what extensions articles we have they're for extensions where we keep getting questions about it or want to share a lot of information about how to customize it.

This article is basically just an ad for an extension by the author. That is inappropriate. My first thought was to mark this article with "vote for deletion". However, we do frequently mention relevant extensions when documenting a topic. For example, the mailing lists article has a short paragraph describing an add-on for five useful add-ons and lists a few others in external links.

Perhaps the best solution would be for me to write an article about forwarding in general (rather than a specific add-on), and redirect this article to it. The new article might (or might not) include a short paragraph describing this add-on. I'd have to see what relevant add-ons are available and which ones get mentioned most often in the forums. As a minimum it would be listed in external links.

I have no objection to you redirecting this article to a new article about "forwarding" in general but I'd be interested in what purpose the author had for creating this article. Onno Ekker (oeekker) is listed as Project Owner at http://forward.mozdev.org/ .... If he indicates that his intent was to promote or market his own extension (or if we don't get a reply from him within a week or so) then I would nominate this article for deletion.

Have a look at Forwarded messages not readable which contains a lot of content for a possible more general Forward article already, along with 3.0-specific suggestions on the Discussion page. The main article contains a brief reference to the extension covered here. --Rsx11m 03:14, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
