In our documentation, compiled through Sphinx, we have a few links to Stack Overflow answers (to acknowledge the good suggestions found there). We run a link check Action to verify that we don't have broken links, and today all Stack Overflow links started being reported broken, with errors like:
Warning, treated as error:
/home/runner/work/stingray/stingray/docs/api.rst:27:broken link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4494404/find-large-number-of-consecutive-values-fulfilling-condition-in-a-numpy-array (403 Client Error: Forbidden for url: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4494404/find-large-number-of-consecutive-values-fulfilling-condition-in-a-numpy-array)
( api: line 27) linkcheck: exit 2 (63.54 seconds) /home/runner/work/stingray/stingray/docs> sphinx-build -W -b linkcheck .
But I verified by hand that these links are not broken. Is Stack Overflow limiting links somehow? Is there a way to put links to SO in our documentation?
