404 Error / Bad or broken Links on DCRMR webpage #26

Open ladylazarus3 opened 4 years ago

i am opening this issue so folks can report broken links in a single spot. This issue should be commented on and reopened as needed rather than having multiple issues created for bad/broken links. The 404 for the DCRMR website directs folks here.

Markdown file errors that cause bad or broken links should be addressed in the DCRMR Wiki and use of templates to minimize the frequency of broken links through use of established best practices.

Hi folks, Just a friendly update on this and just FYI handy tool for checking 404 errors. i added this Broken Link Checker Chrome Extension to my browser. As of today 2020-07-17, we are hitting around a 60% broken link rate. This tool spits out a comprehensive report which might help us gauge our GitHub transfer progress and serve as a punch in the arm as development continues over the next month or so. i'll update this issue thread occasionally as we reach significant milestones.

Hi folks, Jessica submitted several pull requests for prelims pages recently. While crafting those pages, she had several links to other pages that had not been populated yet. She was able to locate the chapter# and entity# for those future pages from the Order of the Text spreadsheet and supplied the section and instruction numbering, the last two decimals in the four number sequence, as X.X Note the example of an intentionally unfinished link in 0.4.1.3 due to the fact that the page for 1.23.X.X doesn't exist yet.

i really liked this practice as it makes the X.X easily searchable using the Algolia search feature (try typing X.X into the search bar at the top of the page). If folks follow suit, we will thank ourselves mightily later. i've also changed the "how to" instructions in the DCRMR Editorial Wiki to adopt this new practice.
