Research direction

Start at the RubyMine section of the Ruby Style Guide and inspect the outdated Confluence link described in the issue. Replace it with the appropriate current JetBrains documentation, likely the Ruby Inspectopedia page, then verify that the rendered link works and accurately supports the surrounding text.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The RubyMine section has a link leading to the old version of JetBrains docs (Confluence-based):

RubyMine's code inspections are partially based on this guide.

For what I see the link from “partially based” is now redirecting to https://www.jetbrains.com/help/ruby/code-inspection.html. This pages says nothing about Ruby Style Guide, and it’s more like Qodana advert.

I have checked the Web Archive versions of the original link, back in the days it had a list of things RubyMine checks for:

In this case maybe the “Inspectopedia” — https://www.jetbrains.com/help/inspectopedia/Ruby.html — will be the better option to link here.
