"Dead" link at section "split-method-instead-of-boolean-input-parameter"

Open SABECK1 opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

The link 1 at section split-method-instead-of-boolean-input-parameter is redirecting to a rather questionable website, that to me, has no relation to the styleguide at all.

I suppose it's for the best if the link would've been removed if the website isn't archived anywhere.

Opened pull-request regarding this issue, removing the links in the German, Spanish, English and French version. I would consider doing this in the other versions as well, if I could read them... Maybe I will try with Google Translate in the future.

Given that the other translations contain the same original links I simply updated them in #345 assuming that the URLs were in the right spot already. It does raise the question about our general policy regarding external links, though...

As for analysis of the root cause here: Most likely the original website (just checked silkand*.net) got hacked. From the subpage there is a redirect to the domain root which is then diverting the client to the gambling site.
