Hi @tannercd ,
I could reproduce all the issues you have mentioned and I found that <a href="proper_link"> is missing in the code.
I am fixing it now.

Hi @moT01 ,
Can you give me a little hint on how to reproduce this locally??

Hi @tannercd, thanks for reporting this and for your detailed rundown. Makes it much easier to fix these broken links.
@rajat641, these all seem to be related to challenge guides on the forum. The permissions to edit each post are quite high, so a moderator will have to go in and fix each link.
I'll go through each of these and fix the links.

Just finished updating these links. Thanks again for creating this issue, @tannercd.
Could you or @rajat641 go through and confirm all the links are working and pointing to relevant guide articles?
Will close this issue for now, but please @ mention me if you notice any issues.

Hi @scissorsneedfoodtoo, you're welcome. I tried to provide as much detail as possible since I'm not able to update the wiki at my current permission level.
I just checked out each of the updated links and everything is working. All bugs fixed. Thank you for closing this issue. Cheers!

Thanks a lot @scissorsneedfoodtoo . I was trying to understand the code for 2-3 hours and ended up finding nothing and So I commented here. It saved my time.

Thanks for confirming all the links are working @tannercd. Your details made it really easy to find and fix them. Please feel free to open another issue if you find more broken links and @ mention me.
Sure, no problem @rajat641. Sorry for the confusion. The code in this repo mostly pertains to the /learn app. The Ghost theme for /news is in another repo and /forum is run on Discourse, and is almost completely independent from the other two applications.
It's a little extra confusing because we usually encourage people to raise any issues here in the main repo since it's the most visible. Hope that helps clear the air a little bit, and looking forward to your next contribution :+1: :+1:
