old pages getting hits from search engines

Hi WAI CC folks,

Several old pages are getting lots of hits from a popular search engine. We need to help people get to current information.

Here are a few quick things that I did on the highest hit pages:
* https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/wiki/Using_aria-label_for_link_purpose
 - added "This is an outdated draft." and link to WCAG 2.1 Technique
* https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/wiki/Using_aria-expanded_to_indicate_the_state_of_a_collapsible_element
 - added "This is an outdated draft." and have there commented out:
 "<!-- In 2020, the latest version of this information was at [@@]-->" since I wasn't sure where to point to
* https://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/TS/html401/cp0403/0403-FONT-COLOR.html
* https://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/TS/html401/cp0301/0301-CSS-DIV-BACKGROUND-IMAGE.html

Here is a high hit one that I didn't do anything to:
* https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/RoleAttribute

Feel free to fix any of above.

Please think about overall approaches for better indicating draft and outdated info, and providing links to current info -- and/or excluding some pages from search engine results.

In the meantime, I could provide a list of other pages that are getting lots of hits that I think need status notes and links.

Thanks!
