Motivation

While reading the docs I ran the external links across docs/ through a link checker and found 8 links that resolve to 404. This PR fixes all of them, replacing each dead URL with its live equivalent (or removing the hyperlink where no equivalent exists).

Changes (8 links, 7 files)

File Dead link Fix
docs/guides/running-continue-without-internet.mdx docs.continue.dev/reference/model-providers/ollama (404) → docs.continue.dev/customize/model-providers/top-level/ollama (200)
docs/guides/running-continue-without-internet.mdx docs.continue.dev/reference/telemetry (404, page removed) unlinked, text kept
docs/customize/model-providers/more/asksage.mdx docs.continue.dev/guides/cli (404) → docs.continue.dev/cli/quickstart (200)
docs/guides/chrome-devtools-mcp-performance.mdx docs.continue.dev/guides/cli (404) → docs.continue.dev/cli/quickstart (200)
docs/faqs.mdx github.com/continuedev/continue/discussions (404 — Discussions disabled on repo) unlinked, text kept
docs/customize/deep-dives/rules.mdx blob/main/core/llm/constructMessages.ts (404 — file no longer in repo) unlinked, text kept
docs/customize/model-providers/top-level/openai.mdx text-generation-webui/tree/main/extensions/openai (404 — extension removed upstream) → blob/main/docs/12%20-%20OpenAI%20API.md (200, current official docs page)
docs/guides/github-mcp-continue-cookbook.mdx modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main/src/github (404 — GitHub server migrated) → github.com/github/github-mcp-server (200, official successor, 34k+ stars)

Verification

  • Every replacement URL was checked to return HTTP 200 (docs.continue.dev/cli/quickstart, docs.continue.dev/customize/model-providers/top-level/ollama, the oobabooga docs page, and github/github-mcp-server).
  • Removed links point to content that no longer exists anywhere (telemetry page, constructMessages.ts, disabled Discussions) — text is preserved, only the hyperlink is dropped.
  • Docs-only change: no code touched.

Notes (not included, for maintainers to decide)

A few other dead links I found but did not touch, since they need an editorial decision:

  • docs/guides/how-to-self-host-a-model.mdx: 5 links point to continuedev/deploy-os-code-llm, which has been deleted.
  • docs/guides/netlify-mcp-continuous-deployment.mdx: 12+ links to old docs.netlify.com/analytics/... and other paths that were removed in Netlify's docs restructure; several have no direct replacement (product discontinued).
  • blog.continue.dev/what-is-continuous-ai-a-developers-guide/ is 404 but referenced in 6 cookbook guides.

Happy to follow up on any of these if maintainers point me to the preferred replacements.
