Current Documentation

In .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml:

contact_links:
  - name: 💬 Discord Community
    url: https://anthropic.com/discord
    about: Get help, ask questions, and chat with other Claude Code users
  - name: 📖 Documentation
    url: https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code
    about: Read the official documentation and guides
  - name: 🎓 Getting Started Guide
    url: https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/quickstart
    about: New to Claude Code? Start here
  - name: 🔧 Troubleshooting Guide
    url: https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/troubleshooting
    about: Common issues and how to fix them

What's Wrong or Missing?

The URLs under contact_links still point to the legacy docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/* domains, which trigger HTTP 301/302 redirects:

  • https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code (302 redirect)
  • https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/quickstart (301 redirect)
  • https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/troubleshooting (301 redirect)

The canonical documentation host for Claude Code is code.claude.com/docs/en/*.

Suggested Improvement

Update .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml to reference the canonical destinations:

contact_links:

    about: Common issues and how to fix them
