781922 - Some broken links in NSPR documentation

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Developer Documentation Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Mark Côté [:mcote]]

The NSPR API Reference on MDN appears to have some broken links. For instance, https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/NSPR_API_Reference/NSPR_Types links to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/NSPR_API_Reference/en/PRUint8, which 404s. I believe there are a number of broken links through the Reference.

[Florian Scholz (Open Web Docs)]

Looks like we got links like <a href="en/PR_EXTERN">PR_EXTERN</a> all over on a ton of pages in this reference. Those become https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/NSPR_API_Reference/en/PR_EXTERN instead of https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/PR_EXTERN

Does this require development work? Copying Sheppy for more thoughts.

Comment 3

[Eric Shepherd [:sheppy]]

Yeah, the problem here is the lack of leading slashes on those links, which were optional on MindTouch but mandatory on Kuma.

Comment 4

[Eric Shepherd [:sheppy]]

I have fixed this page; fixing them as easy: grab the HTML source and replace all instances of:

"en/

with:

"en-US/docs/

I guess this should stay open for now, but I don't know who's going to go hunt down and fix them all. I'm sure there are a bunch of these all over the site. This will be easier to fix once we have global find and replace.

Sheppy: See bug 785400 and the wider bug 783535.
