canonical-does-not-match-pretty-URL
Severity: error
Categories: front matter,canonical
Message
The canonical ‘%s’ in the front matter doesn’t match the source file pretty URL path ‘%s’.
Guide
Update the canonical URL to match the pretty URL for the source path.
To determine the pretty URL for the source path:
Start with the root documentation URL. For the Grafana project this would be
https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/.Append the source path, ignoring the
docs/sources/directory. For the pathdocs/sources/administration/_index.md, append the pathadministration/_index.md. The canonical URL becomeshttps://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/administration/_index.md.For the path
docs/sources/administration/users.md, append the pathadministration/users.md. The canonical URL becomeshttps://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/administration/users.md.Remove any
index.md,_index.md, or.mdfrom the URL. For the pathdocs/sources/administration/_index.md, remove_index.mdfrom the canonical URL. The canonical URL becomeshttps://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/administration/For the path
docs/sources/administration/users.md, remove.mdfrom the canonical URL. The canonical URL becomeshttps://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/administration/usersAppend a trailing slash if there isn’t one already. For the path
docs/sources/administration/_index.md, do nothing. The canonical URL remainshttps://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/administration/For the path
docs/sources/administration/users.md, add a trailing slash. The canonical URL becomeshttps://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/administration/users/

relref-can-resolve-ambiguously
Severity: error
Categories: link
Message
The relref shortcode argument ‘%s’ can resolve ambiguously because it isn’t a relative or absolute path.

If a relref shortcode has ambiguous resolution, the link destination is the current page and not the intended page.
A relative path begins with either ./ or ../.
An absolute path begins with a /.
relref-has-trailing-slash
Severity: error
Categories: link
Message
The relref shortcode argument ‘%s’ has a trailing slash, which can break the resolution.
Guide
You can reference an index.md file either by its path or by its containing folder without the ending /.
You can reference an _index.md file only by its containing folder.
Remove the trailing slash to make sure that changing the index type doesn’t break the link.
