I followed a link from http://nrabinowitz.github.io/pjscrape/#tutorial
The link is under the 4th code block in that tab (the `#` URL fragment is
to the tab, not the section itself).
The anchor text reads __Django feature syntax__ and it points to
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/howto/initial-data/
Which is a 404 (and the link on that page requested I report it).
Apparently it just needs updated to the current versions documentation:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/howto/initial-data/
It wouldn't surprise me if other versions (and other documents of each of
those versions) all need updated too.
I tried to work out a RegEx for a redirect but was struggling with it when
I realized that this site runs on Nginx not Apache and the code wouldn't
work anyway.
Since the link's destination URL looks proper, I'm guessing URL structures
changed and that all links to that URL would now be broken so rather than
contacting the author, I am submitting it here as it should be redirected
appropriately.

Comment:
Not sure if this is a good idea or not. You could bring it up on the
DevelopersMailingList (here's [https://groups.google.com/d/topic/django-
developers/5TsL3MED5W8/discussion an existing thread]. Anyway, the correct
ticket tracker for the website is
