How to proceed for the removal of the old compat table macros?

[teoli2003]

Hi, @mdn/localization-team-leads!

Last year, on mdn/content, we removed the old compatibility tables and replaced the mess of HTML tables and odd macros with a single macro, reading the data from mdn/browser-compat-data, with a key set in the Yaml header of the page.

We have now in mdn/yari a bunch of macros, no more used at all on mdn/content but that have more than 1000 occurrences in mdn/translated-content:

(and {{property_prefix}} too)

How to remove these efficiently?

My 2 🪙 :

Maybe we should remove the Browser compatibility and Specifications sections of all translated pages, add the Yaml spec_url key in mdn/content and replace them with the two macros, like in mdn/content.

I think this would improve a lot the quality of the translated pages while helping get closer to actually deleting these macros.

This is just an idea, a conversation starter, so feel free to comment!
