Public Policy

Faculty site: http://www.victoria.ac.nz/vbs/study-careers/subjects/publ

School site: http://www.victoria.ac.nz/sog/study/subjects/publ

Home site: http://www.victoria.ac.nz/study/programmes-courses/subjects/public-policy

• De-link faculty, school and home site equivalents
• Delete subject pages on faculty and school
• Redirect all these subject urls to new topic page: http://www.victoria.ac.nz/explore/study-areas/public-policy-and-government/about
• On the school site: Add a redirect link so that the new subject page appears in left-hand sidebar.
• Check that the Public Policy link on http://www.victoria.ac.nz/fhss/study/undergraduate/ba redirects to the new study area.

Actions in the previous lines in this row of this table will leave home site page as the sole copy of this content. It is required to feed International.

• Archive home site page
• If required, rename the url of the existing page.
• Redirect the old subject urls to new topic page:http://www.victoria.ac.nz/explore/study-areas/public-policy-and-government/about 
• Check that https://www.victoria.ac.nz/international/study/undergraduate/public-policy still works/looks right.

School name: Not a pattern we follow, as users were not interested.

Related subjects: Replaced by related topics (being the topics that contain the related subject). Will need to limit this to 6.

Major attributes: Not covered anywhere.

Course learning objectives: Not covered anywhere.

Fully enumerated PG options list: Coming in the next phase of our work.

List of careers: Sometimes handled at topic level, sometimes at subject, with link to CareersNZ for further information.

Social Policy

Faculty site: n/a Note that this is an FHSS subject taught by SACS

School site: http://www.victoria.ac.nz/sacs/study/subjects/spol

Home site: http://www.victoria.ac.nz/study/programmes-courses/subjects/social-policy

We usually leave the home site copy of the content archived (i.e. not deleted) to feed International. However, for this subject International are feeding from Sociology, so we can delete all three versions.

• Delete subject pages on faculty, school and home site
• Redirect all these subject urls to new topic page: http://www.victoria.ac.nz/explore/study-areas/public-policy-and-government/about
• On the school site: Add a redirect link so that the new subject page appears in left-hand sidebar.
• Check that https://www.victoria.ac.nz/international/study/undergraduate/sociology still works/looks right.

Faculty: http://www.victoria.ac.nz/vbs/study-careers/subjects

• On faculty: Check that the redirects work for all subjects listed

If we have a new state for the AoS navigation,

• Implement 'Explore Public Policy and Government' button, pointing to http://www.victoria.ac.nz/explore/study-areas/public-policy-and-government/about

If not,

• Redirect all subject links to the new topic page http://www.victoria.ac.nz/explore/study-areas/public-policy-and-government/about

• This is a temporary measure and would need fixing once the first option is developed.

• Check all five related AoS have the right state: Either subject level links (where the topic is not yet live) or 'Explore topic name' where the topic is already live.
• Pay special attention to Economics and Finance.
