What changed

Five citation URLs on accessibility pages now point at their current locations. Each old URL still answers with a 301, so nothing is broken for readers yet.

Page Old path New path
document-language equalizedigital.com/accessibility-checker/documentation/missing-language-declaration/ equalizedigital.com/accessibility-checker/missing-language-declaration/
empty-links-buttons .../documentation/empty-link/ .../empty-link/
empty-links-buttons .../documentation/empty-button/ .../empty-button/
link-text .../documentation/ambiguous-anchor-text/ .../ambiguous-anchor-text/
hidden-until-found developer.chrome.com/articles/hidden-until-found developer.chrome.com/docs/css-ui/hidden-until-found

Why now

Today's rotating citation check covered the accessibility category (106 distinct URLs). These five were the only redirects, and none of the 106 failed. Following a redirect now is cheaper than replacing a dead link later. The other Equalize Digital issue guides this spec cites already use the path without /documentation/. The /documentation/ index cited by accessibility-overlays and about.astro still returns 200 directly, so it stays as is.

Sources

I fetched each new URL. All return 200, and their titles match the topic each citation covers. The Chrome article still covers hidden=until-found and the beforematch event.

Status and changelog

No status or body changes, and no updated bump. No changelog entry, since this is a citation fix.

npm run build passes.

Equalize Digital returns a 403 to some non-browser user agents, so link checkers may report these URLs as blocked. That applies to the old paths too.

Found by

The daily standards scan's rotating citation check.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Equalize Digital moved its issue guides out of /documentation/, and
Chrome for Developers moved the hidden=until-found article under
/docs/css-ui/. Both old paths still 301, so nothing is broken yet.
