ressahttps://www.drupal.org/planet/chinese looks empty.
Should the "Planet Chinese" link be removed from https://www.drupal.org/planet if there is nothing?
Comment #5
avpadernoThe link can only be removed by deleting Planet Chinese.
Comment #6
avpadernoAt the moment, there are no feeds for Planet Chinese, which mean there is nothing to moderate.
If there were the need to moderate Planet Chinese's feeds, the only permissions the Aggregator module exposes are administer news feeds, which allows to administer any Aggregator feed, not just the ones for Planet Chinese, and access news feeds, which is necessary to read the Aggregator feeds.
When Planet Chinese was created, nobody wrote the procedure to add new Planet Drupal moderators, which also means it is not clear whether a new Drupal role should have been created, or people appointed as Planet moderator should just get the administer news feeds permission.

ressaYes, of course. Why should there be a link, if there is no content in the first place?
Comment #8
avpadernoI think the link is added by a custom module. In fact, I created a feed I use to move all the articles that do not suit Planet Drupal, and that feed is not linked in any place.
I guess the code that shows that link does not check whenever the feed has articles, probably to keep the code simpler. (Whichever this is correct, and the eventual decision to change the code, can only be confirmed from the Drupal Association's stuff.)

ressaThanks @paderno, I guess the next step is to decide whether to delete Planet Chinese or not ... If there are no feeds, I can't see any arguments against deleting it ...

avpadernoThe Drupal Association does not have any plan to add a role with the permissions necessary to add new feeds to a regional Planet Drupal.
It is still possible to help site moderators with the requests for adding a feed to a regional Planet Drupal, but site moderators will be the only ones who can add feeds to Planet Drupal.
