Comment (by Sarah Boyce):
> I'm not opposed to re-adding some directives like .. _patch-review-
checklist to try and preserve deep links people might have used, but I
think it should be part of a documented policy. Why is this heading on
this page important that it requires preserving?
For example, https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/contributing
/writing-code/submitting-patches/#patch-review-checklist has been on an
automated welcome message on GitHub PRs for first time contributors for
quite a while - so this link is used and shared quite extensively. I think
it's normal to share a particular version of the docs in a link, but often
in the internal docs, I share "dev" links so folks get the latest
information on our processes - unfortunately these links are more
"brittle".
Setting a redirect would be great 👍
This is not a documented policy. I'd say we change header names (though
never really touched the Wiki). References we don't change very often and
file renaming/removing is also quite rare.
