From main page: https://wiki.debian.org/ShellCommands Scroll to "for" highlighted hyperlink shows: https://manpages.debian.org/man/for.1 Page that comes up https://dyn.manpages.debian.org/man/for.1?

This is happening on Chrome, Firefox and Chrome on Android. I have not checked other browsers.

I think the issue is with the wiki page, not with manpages.d.o.

As best as I can tell, the wiki page started out as a listing of shell commands (not just programs, also shell builtins), see this old revision. At some point, somebody updated it, added manpage links and removed builtins, but apparently didn’t remove “for”?

There’s no program called “for” as per https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=sid&section=all&arch=any&searchon=contents&keywords=for, and I can’t find a manpage for it in other distributions either.

I think the wiki page is incorrect, and “for” should be removed from there. If you’re looking for your shell’s documentation on “for”, check out e.g. https://manpages.debian.org/testing/zsh-common/zshall.1.en.html#COMPLEX_COMMANDS
