Documentation links missing on versions >=16.9

[a2intl]

On the page https://reactjs.org/versions/ , all of the versions from 16.9 and above (newer) are missing the "Documentation" link.

@a2intl are you sure? I'm seeing all the way up to 16.13.1

@kwaimind what @a2intl is trying to say is that versions 15.6-16.8 have both changelog and documentation links, but versions 16.9-16.13.1 have only changelog link (as seen in both your screenshots)

[kwaimind]

Yeah that's my bad 🙋‍♂️ I totally misread the message.

Also all the documentation links seem to result in Page Not Found errors. Maybe removing them and just keeping the changelogs would be a good idea @rickhanlonii ?

Something broke with the redirects. :-(

[gaearon]

(But that's a separate problem from us forgetting to update the page.)

[saswatamcode]

Oh. That's why I couldn't find the /version/versionNumber page anywhere.

How can this be open for months with multiple issues and no action? Not everyone is using the latest and greatest and people often need to reference old docs.

Redirects were originally added in #801.

You can see there's a script that appends stuff to _redirects. My guess is that somehow this script either doesn't run anymore since some Gatsby update, or it doesn't write things in the correct format, or it isn't written at the right time.

If someone wants to look into the cause, it would be highly appreciated.

I totally understand your frustration! It slipped through the cracks. We're a small team and there are hundreds of issues across many repos. This one kept coming up so I expected that somebody motivated would send a PR with a fix, but maybe there weren't enough details. I hope there's enough now.
