Removal of Events and Event Listing from Content Build

[timcosgrove]

User Story or Problem Statement

As the CMS PM, I need to understand the scope and level of effort to remove events and event listing from content build.

Description or Additional Context

We would like to remove Events from Content Build publishing, so that we can see some speed gains in Content Build.

Main task is to identify all the things that will need to be modified in order for events/listings to be removed, maybe including but not limited to:

• removing queries
• modifying tests
• modifying broken link checking to not check event links
• making sure that the shared sitemap setup is working

Acceptance Criteria

• A plan of action documented in Github to remove Events and Event Listing from Content Build.
• An estimated level of effort needed to remove Events and Event Listing from Content Build.

Next steps: nail down timing to remove events and event listing and scope out work for communication around removing events and event listing from content build.

The work for this is currently in a draft PR for Content Build: department-of-veterans-affairs/content-build#2368

This does the following:

• removes Event and Event Listings queries from the 'get individual' and 'get all pages' queries
• removes Event and Event Listing pages from the 'count' query
• sets up the broken link checker with patterns to ignore. We do not want the broken link checker reporting any links to events as broken. The event pages are removed, so the broken link checker now skips checks to them. It is set up that additional patterns can be added at a later time.
