Beginner's guide to editing the docs - link not correct?

[DorusvdLinden]

I automatically always get the /latest/ added to the https://missionpinball.org/ link:
https://missionpinball.org/latest/

When clicking on the "Beginner's guide to editing the docs" link below any page it tries to go to:
missionpinball.org/about/help

which does not resolves into:
missionpinball.org/latest/about/help
but gives me an error 404 warning

I tried in both edge & chrome.

Hi,

I did a quick look at it, first of all I can reproduce the behavior. In case it helps, you can use this link

https://missionpinball.org/latest/about/help_docs/

to find how to edit doc pages.

Now the tricky part, when you edit the doc pages you run a server locally to test if everything works fine. (Running mkdocs serve). Usually you have for everything relative links so if the web page introduces a "latest" on the highest level doesn't matter too much. BUT: There are lots of includes for easier re-usage, for example for about/help, that is working perfectly fine with mkdocs serve , and these links are absolute links.

See here https://github.com/missionpinball/mpf-docs/blob/main/includes/content_footer.md

Easy fix for the latest web page, add the latest in this absolute link, but then of course it won't work for version specific links. Having a relative link here won't work either since you never know where the include is included.

I am not an expert on the mkdocs, so I am not able to propose a really smart solution. Just wanted to give a first analysis and some background.
