Links for Drupal 8 documentation are wrongly redirected

(I forgot to link the documentation page the IS is referring to.)

For the links described in my previous comment, there is already #3085999: URLs default to 8.2.x [deploy fix] → for the 8 => 8.2.x part. What is new is then only the /11.x part attached to the URL.

Thanks for reporting, as the branches don't exist, we defo need to improve the fallback. We can probably extract the part before the version and search for that.

The logic for this is in the "API" module.

Now that the other issue has been marked fixed, https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/core%21lib%21Drupal%21Component%21Utility%21Html.php/function/Html%3A%3Aescape/8 is redirected to https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/core%21lib%21Drupal%21Component%21Utility%21Html.php/function/Html%3A%3Aescape/8.9.x, which is the correct page.

I think this issue can be considered fixed too. I will verify the links in Writing secure code for Drupal are all working.

Never mind: There are still links on that page that are redirected to a page that does not exist. (I will edit this comment to report exactly which ones.)

Still found links that are incorrectly redirected.

"https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/core!lib!Drupal!Core!Entity!ContentEnt..." is redirected to "https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/core%21lib%21Drupal%21Core%21Entity%21...". In should instead be redirected to "https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/core%21lib%21Drupal%21Core%21Entity%21..." (or other URL that makes sense)

Sorry, it's this one 😅 📌 Redirects that come to the site end up in 404 Active
