Yes, particularly links to particular comments on OB that no longer link to the same comment on LW. This is very annoying when it’s part of a point being made by a post.

Cheers. If anyone’s willing to make the changes to the articles, It’s trivial to recinfigure my scraper to test external links for 404s.
