779523 - BrowserID {{domxref}} links on developer-new.mozilla.org aren't working as expected

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Editing, defect)

Description

[Will Bamberg [:wbamberg]]

The BrowserID API reference docs at https://developer-new.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/DOM/navigator.id include cross-references, which are specified in the source as (for example):

{{ domxref("navigator.id.watch()") }}

I'd expect this to link to the page at: https://developer-new.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/DOM/navigator.id.watch

But it doesn't: it links to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/en-US/DOM/navigator.id.watch, which does not exist.

Other DOM pages don't seem to have this problem. so maybe the DOM xrefs are being incorrectly specified in this page?

Note: I'm manually replacing the domxref calls with hardcoded links as a stopgap measure.

Comment 2

[Dan Callahan [:callahad]]

Oddly enough, re-saving the page fixed the weird path. The only problem now is that the links are being rooted at developer.mozilla.org rather than developer-new.mozilla.org

Comment 3

This could be related to a bug in the template (see https://developer-new.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Template:domxref), but it may be related to something weird happening under the hood. I have seen that /en-US/docs/en-US thing elsewhere.

I'll be sure the development team takes a look at this.

Dan: Was this fixed with bug 775461?

This particular bug seems to be resolved, though I've filed a new one: #780324
