Archive interactive-examples repository

[bsmth]

Background: https://github.com/orgs/mdn/discussions/782

We have migrated all code from https://github.com/mdn/interactive-examples into page content.

There's been a warning on the repo since mdn/interactive-examples#2900, so it's probably time to set the repository to read-only.

Tasks

• Communicate this change & thank contribs to that repo (@pransh15?)
• Double-check if any leftover references to the repository
  • chore: Remove references to mdn/interactive-examples repo content#41601
• archive https://github.com/mdn/interactive-examples

When we discussed this in our meeting on May 7, 2025, I pointed out that interactive-examples.mdn.mozilla.net (ex. font-synthesis) was still used by some external sites, and it still is (over 58'582 hits in the last 14 days, down from 90'255 hits in the 14 days preceding that meeting).

This shouldn't prevent us from archiving this repo, but we should have a plan for decommissioning the infra as well. Back in May, the idea was to help people migrate their usages of interactive examples.

Assigning to @pransh15 for the first step.

Hi folks, the first step is scheduled to be done on Monday at 13.30 CET.

I'll share the discussion once live, and you can proceed further. Thanks!

Closing as resolved, the interactive-examples repository is archived, and references to it were removed (except in translated-content).
