(Whiteboard: [fromAutomation])

In the navigation header, under "Docs," the Local Storage link points to https://developer.allizom.org/en-US/docs/DOM/Storage, which is a 404; our pending automation script (Bob Silverberg's) found this...
That's because almost no content is on staging. That server only has a couple hundred pages of content on it.
Long term, we'll need bug 802203, so our automation doesn't trip up on at least nav links.
FYI:

On stage links in the Main Navigation Menu are broken:

https://developer.allizom.org/en-US/docs/Zones
and 
https://developer.allizom.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Connect
Should we skip these tests on mdn-staging? based on comment 4?

I manually copied the pages from production server to staging server. We are working on a script to automatically & periodically mirror anonymized production data (including wiki pages) into the staging server. (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=802203)

I'd like main navigation links' landing pages to stay in the test suite as much as possible. Is it okay to fix these kinds of issues by manually copying the pages from production to staging until it's automated?

Not really, unless someone does it with more frequentcy/regularity.  We've had failing tests for nearly a week, and it wasn't resolved until now.  We're not complaining, really, but if the project needs this coverage, then we need the help in maintaining the test environment for the tests (otherwise, we have to workaround with skips and xfails, and we stand the chance of missing real bugs).
