Issue with "Use the Inspector API": bad link in sidebar "Connecting the devtools" (with fix)

See original GitHub issue

MDN URL: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Page_Inspector/How_to/Use_the_Inspector_API

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

The sidebar section “Connecting the devtools” features a link Connecting to other browsers but that page does not exist.

What did you expect to see?

Information on how to “Connecting to other browsers” – which would indeed be a nice feature to have.

Related content / issue

There’s another page about Remotely debugging Chrome Desktop that also features a link to the “Valence” page, but it’s properly shown in red.

The actual issue appears to be: sidebar links (unlike content pages) do not realize if a wiki page does not exist.

Probable fix

Replace to link to the non existing “Valence” page with the one for “Remotely debugging Chrome Desktop” given above.

I don’t, no, sorry. Maybe it would be worth asking in https://discourse.mozilla.org/c/devtools/213?

I agree it is a shame, Valence was a very cool idea.

The page in question has meanwhile been moved off MDN (namely here), so I will go ahead and close this issue.
