Description (last modified by ed) (diff)

It would be very very handy to have a link checker of some form to check for internal and external links. Site editors are adding pages, navigation is changing etc. If possible, the link module would update links as they move internally, but that's a nice to have. Please install one and Ed can manage it.

Putting to critical to get it on, shouldn't take long...

With my developer hat on:
1) There are ​Dozens of free, online link checkers.
2) We're in danger of 'modulitis' here
3) If content moving and breaking referring links is an issue there's ​http://drupal.org/project/pathologic and a few similar modules.

I'll hang back until I have an answer but my take is we should first use what's freely available and second look at the cause, rather than the symptoms.

Downgrading importance for now as it's not a show stopper...
