Problem with the Wiki

[Jonathan Ryshpan]

When I click on an entry in the wiki (URL: https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/) instead of getting the page clicked for, I get the home Wiki page.

For example

• Open https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/
• Click on What you should know about paths
• Page produced is  https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/
• Page expected is https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/wiki/Understanding-paths

When I type in by hand the expected page (https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/wiki/Understanding-paths), the expected page opens.

Yes, I noticed last night the the ‘Troubleshooting Davis stations’ page was behaving similarly. I did check the main page source and it appeared fine, when I re-entered the link and saved the main page the link worked. Though when I checked this morning the link is not working again and the home page indicates it was last updated seven days ago. Sounds like a GitHub issue, will look into it later today.

In the meantime you can get to the pages you want by looking under the dropdown on the top right side of the home page that lists all available pages, not the easiest way to navigate but the links appear to still work.

It seems to be adding an extra 'wiki' to the URL. For example, instead of

https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/extensions

it sends you to

https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/wiki/extensions

Seen this for some time, been hopping it would correct. 

Link to my hardware page (i2C sensors) keeps going to the home page, I use the the drop down to get to the pages.

Not all hardware links have this problem but some do.

Looks like anything using a magical link without specifying a path is doing this.  If you check the first 'posting to weewx-user' link which works fine you'll see that one specifies a full path to the file rather than relying on github's wiki functionality to figure it all out.

This one works (absolute URL path):

* [Posting to weewx-user](https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/Help!-Posting-to-weewx-user)

This one doesn't (no full path specified)

* [Frequently-asked questions (FAQ)](WeeWX-Frequently-Asked-Questions)

So it can be fixed via putting the full path in there for all such links, but it shouldn't ideally be necessary...

Perhaps it is (was) a GitHub transient issue. When I checked just now all wiki home page links I tried came up just fine, this included a mix of short form links, full GitHub wiki URLs and external URLs as well as the ones Vince cited.
