Broken anchors and paths in v2 release notes #7174

Summary

The link-checker on PR #7173 (CI run: https://github.com/influxdata/docs-v2/actions/runs/25182601351/job/73831436424) flagged 8 pre-existing broken links across the v2 release notes and adjacent content. All are anchor or path typos pointing at headings/pages that no longer exist (or never existed). None block the PR; this issue tracks them for separate cleanup.

Broken links

All 7 anchor errors below are in content/influxdb/v2/reference/release-notes/influxdb.md (older release-notes sections referencing anchors that have since been renamed/removed):

  • #flux-location-support — anchor not found in target page
  • #error-updates — anchor not found in target page
  • /influxdb/v2/visualize-data/visualization-types/graph/#legend#legend not on graph viz page
  • /influxdb/v2/visualize-data/dashboards/control-dashboard/#refresh-a-single-dashboard-cell — anchor not on control-dashboard page
  • /flux/v0/release-notes/#v0-104-0 — Flux release-notes anchor not found
  • /flux/v0/release-notes/#v0-99-0 — Flux release-notes anchor not found
  • /flux/v0/release-notes/#v0-95-0 — Flux release-notes anchor not found

Plus one wrong-namespace path; couldn't locate the source page in content/ via grep, so likely template-generated or in a data file:

  • /influxdb/cloud-serverless/reference/urls — wrong namespace; cloud-serverless lives under /influxdb3/. Should resolve to /influxdb3/cloud-serverless/reference/urls/ or be removed if the link is no longer relevant.

Suggested approach

For the release-notes anchor errors, decide per case: either fix the anchor to point at the actual current heading (preferred where the target intent is clear), or unlink the prose if the linked content no longer exists. None of these are blocking incidents — they're old release-notes references that drifted as the surrounding docs evolved.

For the cloud-serverless namespace path, search build templates / data/ for the source.
