Hi @pmeier, how to proceed with the 3rd part ? The 2nd part is merged.

Almost every time the linkcheck file is run there is a new broken link found. Is there a way to automatically append that link into the ignore list ?

pmeier Is there any way to Dm you for the PR? I had tried to tag you in the merged PR , but no luck. Do we get notifications in merged or closed PRs ?

No, and that is not the point. When this workflow is running on a schedule and finds broken links, a new issue should be created containing all the broken links so a human can come and fix them.

Just adding everything to the ignore list is the opposite of what we want. Ideally, we don't want to have an ignore list at all. This is likely not possible, because some links like we have seen for http:// will never work so they have be ignored. But the ignore list should be as short as possible.

So if you are stuck on this PR, you can also work on reducing the ignore list.

Thanks for the help with this @ggold7046. The issue you are trying to address is not trivial, and the changes in this PR don't seem to be addressing the issue. I would suggest that you work on an issue that you fully understand. I'll close here, feel free to open a PR once you're sure you understand the problem and you have a reasonable solution. Thank you!

@pmeier, I would like to work on the last part of this from where I started.

3. If errors are found, have the GIthub Action create a new issue (and delete the old one) reporting all the errors and label and Docs and Good First Issue

I would like to work on this one.

this PR don't seem to be addressing the issue.

Hi @datapythonista , It was a PR work in progress.
