Hi @DHBR2 the Markdown links check is failing because there is a reference to Debian 9 guide. https://www.linode.com/docs/guides/list-tables-in-mysql-and-mariadb/ |

Tested and validated the MariaDB guide on Debian 12 |

So, are you saying that I have to update a different document that is not part of the assigned changes in order to make this PR successful?
Let me introduce myself - I work for Andy Stevens as a Technical Writer and am trying to learn the process for getting PRs to pass all checks.
The Issue:
* The PR is failing a "Markdown links check"
* The failure is due to a broken or outdated link to a Debian 9 guide (https://www.linode.com/docs/guides/list-tables-in-mysql-and-mariadb/)
* This link exists in the "Before you Begin" section of a document I didn’t modify
* Even though this broken link isn't part of my changes, it's causing my PR to fail
I’m happy to fix it and add it to the PR, but I wanted to understand if there is an established process for handling this type of situation? My original assignment was to update the one document’s mention of Debian 9 and make relevant changes to the subject matter - no other documentation updates were mentioned.
Is fixing unrelated broken links typically the contributor’s responsibility, or is there another way to handle this?
