From 16f3c6bf95c2a7d6e6b3ca60e48bd08a275420de Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Hughesdon Date: Mon, 4 Nov 2019 08:14:54 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Update /voting-in-the-uk schema The content was updated on Friday. There is [a diff of the content changes](https://publisher.publishing.service.gov.uk/editions/5dbc325c40f0b670153e4e18/diff) in Publisher. Only certain sections of the page are included in the schema, because there's a limit to the amount of content that can be included in the FAQ schema. (That's also the reason for using a separate yml config file for this rather than generating it dynamically from the content item). The [initial version of the page](https://docs.google.com/document/d/14g7FK-v_Y5iqWcB9y5WqTUWU6JuY_eaSGAqxXSMb0Ek/edit#heading=h.9w2yx5uysegs) (with the relevant FAQ sections highlighted) is available to review if necessary. This provides a decent indication of which bits are included, but is now out of date. Speak to me or Sam Dub for further details if required. --- config/machine_readable/voting-in-the-uk.yml | 5 +++-- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/config/machine_readable/voting-in-the-uk.yml b/config/machine_readable/voting-in-the-uk.yml index 29430452f..fead366ce 100644 --- a/config/machine_readable/voting-in-the-uk.yml +++ b/config/machine_readable/voting-in-the-uk.yml @@ -77,8 +77,9 @@ faqs:
