References

a reference that cites a document rather than the code or an outside service

A reference whose link contains .md anywhere, or names a PDF inside the wiki, is refused, because a document is another claim that can be wrong in the same way.^[1][2] What every sentence must carry is described on Citations.

Refusals

Outside documentation passes when its address has no .md, so a README on GitHub is refused like a project document.^[1]

Scope

Every reference on every page is read, and the check names the page rather than the line.^[1]

Exceptions

A reference naming a document without linking it passes, as does one naming nothing.^[1]

Enforcement

Each problem is listed with every other problem wiki check finds.^[3]

Clearing

A refused reference passes once it names the file and function that do the thing, or the outside service's own documentation at an address that is not a markdown file.^[1]
