@queengooborg This was removed from FF, the last browser, in release 84 - December 15, 2020. Isn't BCD supposed to auto-remove these things a couple of years after last use?

@Akindin Thanks for this. Content removal usually follows compatibility data removal.

[queengooborg]

While not quite automatic, we do have a linter script for finding and removing obsolete features. However, it is only enabled for some categories since we haven't yet updated mdn-bcd-collector coverage for all categories and synchronized the results -- the HTML category is not tracked by the linter currently. This feature does meet removal qualifications though!

@queengooborg is there a way to remove article, or how issue should be resolved?

[hamishwillee]

I've added a PR to remove it in mdn/browser-compat-data#22593. IF that gets accepted we can remove this one.

[Akindin]

PR is accepted thanks to everyone for participation.

FYI, you don't need to close this. It gets done when the content PR gets merged. The PR I created previously was to fix up the compat data. The content PR now added. Cheers.
