Description
All the 1.x pages (including those like https://www.playframework.com/modules/mongo-1.1/home) should have an obvious banner to indicate they are not for the current version of Play.
Unfortunately it's very common for new Play users to find these pages on Google and think they work for the current version.
I understand Play 1.x is still maintained, but I'm not sure the current setup strikes the right balance. Maybe it would be better to have a separate "Play 1" site with different branding to make it clear.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the 1.x pages, including the mongo-1.1 example, and trace how their shared page layout identifies the Play version. Done means 1.x pages clearly indicate that they are not for the current Play version; deciding whether to use a banner or a separate site remains unresolved.
