Docs: "Getting Started" Route Missing in Next.js Docs

Open CraGit opened this issue 1 year ago • 7 comments

What is the documentation issue?

Broken Route: Clicking the "Getting Started" button tries to navigate to https://nextjs.org/docs/getting-started, but this route does not exist.

Steps to Reproduce:

Visit Next.js Documentation Click the "Getting Started" button. Observe that the URL leads to a non-existent route.

Is there any context that might help us understand?

The issue was found while navigating the Next.js documentation. I clicked the "Getting Started" button, expecting to be redirected to the "Getting Started" guide. However, the route https://nextjs.org/docs/getting-started does not exist. It appears that this route was either removed or never properly linked, which can confuse new users trying to follow the standard onboarding process.

Does the docs page already exist? Please link to it.

Clicking on "Getting Started" takes you to /docs. This might be the actual path for the docs index. If you click on items under "Getting Started", the route is docs/getting-started/${itemName}.

Getting Started should be appended in the URL path too as all other top level nodes

Screenshot 2024-10-22 at 20 30 58 Check the screenshot, the button says "Next -> Getting Started", but clicking on it takes you to the same page you are already on. Confusing and a really bad user experience.

That takes you on top of the page as getting started is actually the index of the docs.

But it is not Next, but the same page. Even worse, top of the same page.

Screenshot 2024-10-22 at 20 39 19 And Next-> Introduction (on https://nextjs.org/docs/canary/community/contribution-guide) takes you to a 404 (https://nextjs.org/docs/stable)

Yes it should not be next -> getting started. Created a separate issue for broken route.

Yes, Introduction should be more appropriate.

Here, Defining Routes is properly shown as next.
