Retired source — nullvuild

A retired source is a link or reference that should be preserved for history but not reused as current evidence.

This label is useful when a page has been replaced, redirected, contradicted, archived, removed, or superseded by newer official guidance. Deleting the old source can hide why earlier records were written. Keeping it without a warning can mislead readers. A retired label solves that tension by saying: keep this for context, but do not treat it as the current answer.

A good retired source note includes the old link, the reason it was retired, the replacement source if one exists, and the date the status changed. If the old page still ranks in search results, the note should be especially clear. Search users may land on old wording because it has stronger links, more comments, or copied summaries elsewhere.

The boundary is that retirement is not the same as deletion. An old source may still explain history, previous pricing, a past policy, or the origin of a community answer. It simply should not be the source used for today’s decision. The label should preserve history while blocking accidental reuse.

The practical interpretation is simple: if a reader could make a wrong current decision by relying on the source, mark it retired and point to the newer source or the unresolved conflict.
