Broken links in `core/cartopy/cartopy`

Closed this issue · 3 comments

Link-checker is failing PR #131 due to broken links in core/cartopy - which was not changed in this PR. So we have some broken links upstream?

This seems like an easy fix if anyone knows where the link is supposed to point.
My guess is that SciTools recently updated their site structure and that's why this link is broken. Similarly some SciTools google results are broken links now too.

In which case a quick fix would be to set the links to an older version instead of "latest"
i.e. https://scitools.org.uk/cartopy/docs/v0.15/crs/projections.html and https://scitools.org.uk/cartopy/docs/v0.15/crs/projections.html#cartopy-projections

The right fix I think is to update to the new link for v0.20: https://scitools.org.uk/cartopy/docs/latest/reference/crs.html#list-of-projections

Okay great! I couldn't find the new path that would point to a comparable page.
