Research direction

Open the Psych::Nodes::Mapping documentation page and inspect the link in its first line to the YAML 1.1 specification. Locate the source for that page, update the fragment to a valid target, and verify that the rendered link reaches the mapping section.

Description

Documentation

On page https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/Psych/Nodes/Mapping.html, the link in the first line (https://yaml.org/spec/1.1/#mapping) correctly links to page https://yaml.org/spec/1.1, but the fragment refers to a nonexistent id on the page.
