Link Check

Link Check #1726

Workflow file for this run

# This is a separate documentation build just to check links. We don't check
# links as part of the normal documentation build since, unlike Sphinx errors
# and warnings, we don't want broken links to block a merge. (Sometimes they
# will be fixed by the same merge, sometimes they're temporary rate limit
# issues.) It also takes about 30 minutes to run the link check due to GitHub
# throttling.
#
# Instead, we only run link checking when explicitly requested and once per
# week to catch any links that have gone stale or were broken.
