Research direction

Start with the references at docs/docs.json lines 1785, 2149, 2153, 2157, and 2161, then inspect docs/get-started/learning-resources.mdx:21. Compare them with the existing docs/apps/quickstart/build-app.mdx page and the /quickstart redirect. Done means the stale route is no longer referenced and the listed links resolve to the existing Apps quickstart page.

Description

Summary

Several redirects and at least one internal documentation link point to /apps/quickstart/create-new-app, but this route does not appear to exist in the current docs source and returns 404 on the live docs site.

What I found

The following URL returns 404:

https://docs.base.org/apps/quickstart/create-new-app

However, multiple references in the docs point to this missing route.

Examples in docs/docs.json:

  • docs/docs.json:1785
  • docs/docs.json:2149
  • docs/docs.json:2153
  • docs/docs.json:2157
  • docs/docs.json:2161

There is also an internal link in:

  • docs/get-started/learning-resources.mdx:21

The link is:

[Apps](/apps/quickstart/create-new-app)

Expected behavior

Redirects and internal links should point to an existing Apps quickstart page.

Actual behavior

The route /apps/quickstart/create-new-app does not exist and returns 404.

Suggested fix

Update the references to the existing Apps quickstart page:

/apps/quickstart/build-app

This seems to be the current correct route because:

  • docs/apps/quickstart/build-app.mdx exists
  • docs/docs.json lists apps/quickstart/build-app under the Apps > Quickstart navigation
  • The /quickstart redirect already points to /apps/quickstart/build-app

Impact

Users coming from migrated Mini Apps or Cookbook URLs may land on a 404 page. The Learning Resources page also links users to a missing Apps page.
