Description

I am reviewing a job posting for my team, and one of the paragraphs links to the Mozilla Manifesto (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/manifesto/). I was surprised the page title says "The Mozilla Manifesto Addendum" rather than "The Mozilla Manifesto".

Steps to reproduce

  1. Go to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/manifesto/
  2. View the title of the page
    Screenshot 2022-04-18 at 13-38-06 The Mozilla Manifesto

Expected result

Page title should be "The Mozilla Manifesto".

Actual result

Page title is "The Mozilla Manifesto Addendum".

Environment

Mac OS Monterey 12.2 / Firefox Nightly 101.0a1

I believe this is correct, at least as the Manifesto stands in its current form. It's actually two separate pages: The Mozilla Manifesto, and The Mozilla Manifesto Addendum. The Addendum (the top section of the page with its four new principles) was published in 2018. The landing page also lists the ten original Manifesto principles, and the full original Manifesto (without Addendum) can be found at https://www.mozilla.org/about/manifesto/details/.

The two documents could be reformulated into a single revised Mozilla Manifesto, but that's a larger decision for the organization to consider. It's been a few years since the Addendum was published so maybe it's time to combine them. I'm not sure what channels to escalate that to. They could also be kept separate and just redesigned to present them in a single web page, but that's beyond the scope of a title change.

It's actually two separate pages: The Mozilla Manifesto, and The Mozilla Manifesto Addendum.

This looks to be one page with the addendum at the top and the manifesto at the bottom? Can you clarify how this is two pages?

I would expect if I go to a URL with the relative path of about/manifesto that it would have the manifesto at the top, as addendums are usually below whatever is being added to.

Edit: I am not a designer/content person, but it did not match my expectations. Do with this information what you wish. :-)

It's definitely confusing.

The web page is actually a simplified, truncated version of the original manifesto. The ten principles are quoted from it, but aren't the real manifesto as it was first published. The previous version of this page only listed the ten principles and still linked off to the actual manifesto on another page (archived: https://web.archive.org/web/20180301043654/https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/manifesto/).

When we published the addendum it was given prominence at the top of the page because it was a pretty big deal and we were making a bold statement. But now that it's been a while maybe we could redesign it to lead with the original ten principles and put the addendum at the bottom.
