Can all of these links be removed? In addition to making MDC less
useful, these dead links remind me of the loss of the xulplanet resource.

Where are the links? Even if I wanted to drop everything I'm doing
and remove them now, I don't have enough information to do so.

The one I just hit was on
https://developer.mozilla.org/En/NsIWindowMediator
I forgot which one I hit yesterday.

But the reason I posted here is that someone with access to the backend
of MDC can find the links out to xulplanet and remove them in batch.

Oh, and you don't have to drop everything, later today is fine ;-).

There isn't some miracle technology that's going to fix all of these.
They need to be corrected by hand. Feel free to do so. I currently
have many higher priority things to work on.

I started doing that for a few pages I found. But now on
https://developer.mozilla.org/index.php?title=En/Firefox_addons_developer_guide/Let's_build_a_Firefox_extension
I don't know how to fix the footnote numbers again (if I edit them in
the WYSIWYG editor their link status is removed, and in source view I
can not move down far enough to see them).

Peter.

At some point when I have a moment, I want to start getting rid of
footnotes. I don't like using them on the web. Having to scroll to the
end of an article to see something is annoying (to me, anyway).
