Hm, I do see that banner. I don't remember if I clicked it before.

I guess when I click it it says "Oops, that page vanished". Possibly I saw that but then I didn't know > if it meant the feature was removed or if the page was moved.

The user was on the 8.x "Linked State" page clicked on the banner and was greeted with a "Page not found" error. There is no mention that this feature was deprecated.

In the very specific case of linkState, if you're going to put in a "removed!" stub, you could link to the standalone linkstate module. Unless you think getting people to use the linkstate module will create additional support headaches for you :)

This was "fixed" a little bit ago; for missing v10 equivalent docs, we simply send the user to /v10/getting-started.

Hopefully this suffices.
