:: Details

I believe https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/:first-letter used to work (leastways, DuckDuckGo links to it for a search on "first-letter css"). Now it doesn't.

Correct link is https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/::first-letter

I would guess that there are many more such errors, but I don't have time to find them right now. Surely some track is kept of links that they not get broken? (Assuming this to be true, you may be interested in something I'm working on to regularly monitor all links on the entire site; please email me if you'd be interested in this, I'd love to help.)

The url https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/:first-letter has been wrong for a very long time (at least five years now). I'm not surprised it doesn't work anymore, even though technically it's supposed to.

Closing. DuckDuckGo links to the correct one for me.
