Description
Issue Description
When you click on the link for "Custom Page Template" information, the page cannot be found:
https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/functionality/custom-front-page-templates/
Context
When trying to learn more about Custom Front Page Templates, I discovered this issue.
Has the documentation changed, should the link be removed or updated? I am not sure so I raised this ticket.
Steps to reproduce:
- https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/functionality/custom-front-page-templates/
- Just scroll down to this section:
A static page: WordPress uses the Static Page template hierarchy:
Custom Page Template
page-{id}.php
page-{slug}.php
page.php
index.php
Expected Result:
I would expect the page to not link me here, where no information is available:
https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/page-templates/#Custom_Page_Template
Actual Result:
Instead, I was informed that a broken link was on this page, and could not learn more about what the link suggested I could learn more about.
