[drupal-docs] Dead links in documentation

[Kobus Myburgh]

Hi,

This issue was mentioned before, and this exists in almost EVERY module's handbook page. Here is an example, from poll module's page[1], but it has not been addressed yet:

<snip>
You can

view the polls page. 
administer >> content >> configure >> poll. 
</snip>

When clicking the links, you end up at a "Page not found" link. The reason this happens may be because:

1. The particular module is not installed on the site (404)
2. The user doesn't have access to that page (403)

There might be more reasons that I am unaware of, but it is not good for a user to end up at a dead link, one way or another. I suggest this again - remove the links completely, or set up a demo site which will be refreshed hourly, where everyone can have full access all the time. The first is most probably the most desirable and managable.

Comments, suggestions or alternative solutions anybody?

Regards,

Kobus
