https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/references/A_brief_guide_to_Mozilla_preferences is already a 404 for me. How did you get there?

I'm willing to bet that this is the original page:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Preferences/A_brief_guide_to_Mozilla_preferences

Clint: How did you find that 404 page? Which article linked to it? Because the MDN is a wiki, you could even update that article to link to the correct page (see comment 2).

Hah, that would have been useful, no?  I thought I'd posted the page that was linking from.  I'll find it again and post it here.

Just going through my browser history from this morning I'm not finding it, either it's already been fixed or it's on this page:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Preferences/Preference_reference

Which seems to be inaccessible at time, I'm getting:

"The automatically generated list of subpages below is temporarily broken. We will fix this as soon as we can." when I go there.

Thanks for letting us know, Clint.

I am going to mark this as fixed for now, but let me know if you find the page that was linking to this article -- it shouldn't have been.

In the meantime, we have also updated the Preference_reference page to explain that issue more clearly.
