601463 - Internal link broken in "How to skin Firefox" doc

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[Deb Richardson [:dria] (plz NEEDINFO)]

The "Getting Started" link appears to be broken and instead just redirects the user to the front page of MDN.  This is obviously a fairly significant issue, since I think this is one of the primary tutorials for making Personas.

The "Getting Started" page is currently at [1] (with two slashes "//") but the correct URL is [2].

Because [3] is locked, someone with enough privileges has to move this page from [1] to [2] ;)

I can't figure out what's wrong -- both 1 and 2 redirect me to the new front page of MDN.

Presumably, Dekiwiki forwards invalid URLs to the front page.

[1] works, and [2] does not exist so it forwards to the front page.

Janet updated the link to access [1].
See bug 555595 for forwarding invalid URLs to the front page.
