Thanks to feedback from customers (as well as our own use of the tool), we made two small changes to the Broken Links Report.
The report will now ignore:
- mailto: links
- javascript: links
Both link formats are impossible to verify through the automated process we use to generate the report, so they basically just generated extra rows you couldn't resolve. We felt it was a better choice to remove them entirely.
(And if you've been using that report to help audit the places those types of links are used--don't worry! We're very close to releasing a new Advanced Search tool that will let you search for HTML strings and links like this, so you'll still have a way to audit their usage in articles.)
