Hi @Reporter,
Can you please add more details like on which page did you find this broken link?

Comment 2

[Janet Swisher]

The page containing the broken link is listed in the URL field. It's a page of sample code using these methods, which in turn is linked from https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/Events/Creating_and_triggering_events 

The problem is that the sample code page uses very old paths in its links, from back when MDN had a different URL scheme. Some of these links are resolved, and some are not. The link in question should be: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Event/preventDefault

Similarly, https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/MDC:Copyrights should be https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/MDN/About#Using_MDN_Web_Docs_content

and https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/MDC:About should be https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/MDN/About with link text "About MDN web docs"

This sample code needs to be migrated to be one of the types of example code that we currently support and can maintain: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/MDN/Contribute/Structures/Code_examples
