https://vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples/Cxx => My preference is to totally remove this site, the code from here was used in the initial set up of Bill’s VTKExamples site. Most of the examples were transferred and sometimes renamed. Bill was in the process of adding in links to his site for all these examples.
I think there is no reason to keep this one around, it should be removed or replaced by an eulogy to Bill.
You can push on the gh-pages of Bill’s repo, @amaclean ?

I’ve removed all references to the old site and to the old examples within the wiki.
@nicolas.vuaille, search tool and site validation is now fixed. I have also removed the google_analytics keyword in the mkdocs.yml file as this only applies to the old site. It would have been created by BIll.
Thanks to all those who who helped in setting up the new VTK Examples site, (it was not a small job)! Also thanks to those who have been looking at the site, reviewing it and picking up things that need to be changed.
To all, have a great Christmas etc. and a Very Happy and Successful New Year. Take care, avoid the “Rona” and and “covidiots”.
@amaclean : can you take it down ? Should be as simple as unchecking a checkbox in the project settings. If you do not have access, please update to gh-pages to at least contains a link to the new site.
I cannot access the security settings so I have asked GitHub to archive or remove the site: Archive a site. If you get a chance could you add a comment there, it may help to have more than one person requesting this.
He gave up using the gh-pages branch and just used the master years ago. I guess I could rename the site folder in the master, and create a new site folder with a link to the new web site, but the other problem is people seem to be directly accesing the source code.
My two cents: GitHub has changed its authentication scheme recently. At least for me, I needed to setup a one-time password scheme with OAuth (you can use another service) to access my account in GitHub page. I also needed to create a hash-like token for write operations (e.g. git push). This token is then used as password in your git client. I don’t know whether you aready know this, but since you’re complaining about authentication issues, perhaps a step is missing to work with GitHub.
