Running the project's
make checklinks(Sphinx linkcheck) on the 7.0 branch surfaced one broken link: the Apache Foundation cron-jobs guide at howtoforge.com, referenced fromconfiguration/cron_jobs.rst, returns a403 Forbiddento the automated checker. The page is live and correct in a browser — the 403 is an anti-bot block on the checker, not a dead link.Per the Mautic community handbook's "Working with external links" guidance, a working URL that returns a non-404 error (403, timeout, anchor) should be added to
linkcheck_ignoreindocs/conf.pywith an explanatory comment rather than replaced. This adds that single ignore entry, matching the existing convention in the list. The:xref:link itself is unchanged. After the change,make checklinksreports zero broken links on this branch.
