Delete old redirect files in doc/user

Marcel Amirault requested to merge docs-redirects-removal-2 into master

What does this MR do?

Deletes old redirect files that no longer need to be maintained. They are more than 3 months old, and redirects will still happen on docs.gitlab.com.

Covers redirects in:

  • /doc/user

I did a git grep to search the complete codebase for links to every file in this MR. Anything that was mentioned in a code comment or link (not tested in UI Links) was removed from this MR, and they will be addressed separately. There are no links to any of these files in the UI, code comments, or other docs to these redirects.

I also added SAAS to the vale acronym check, (needed due to our new badges, like **(FREE SAAS)**), so that vale runs on all files. Otherwise vale will try to run on the deleted files and fail.

Author's checklist (required)

Do not add the feature, frontend, backend, ~"bug", or database labels if you are only updating documentation. These labels will cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.

When applicable:

Review checklist

All reviewers can help ensure accuracy, clarity, completeness, and adherence to the Documentation Guidelines and Style Guide.

1. Primary Reviewer

  • Review by a code reviewer or other selected colleague to confirm accuracy, clarity, and completeness. This can be skipped for minor fixes without substantive content changes.

2. Technical Writer

  • Technical writer review. If not requested for this MR, must be scheduled post-merge. To request for this MR, assign the writer listed for the applicable DevOps stage.

For more information about labels, see Technical Writing workflows - Labels.

For suggestions that you are confident don't need to be reviewed, change them locally and push a commit directly to save others from unneeded reviews. For example:

  • Clear typos, like this is a typpo.
  • Minor issues, like single quotes instead of double quotes, Oxford commas, and periods.

For more information, see our documentation on Merging a merge request.

3. Maintainer

  1. Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the above reviews. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
  2. Ensure a release milestone is set.
  3. If there has not been a technical writer review, create an issue for one using the Doc Review template.
