[Tech Docs December Launch] TRs for Milestone 1 - 181 files missing English anchor links for i18n docs launch

Problem

Based on the latest CI run from https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/jobs/11717041582#L49, we currently have:

  • 181 files with missing anchor links (need English {#anchor-name} format)
  • 133 files with correct English anchor links

The 181 files without English anchor links are blocking our ability to implement link validation CI for the localized docs site - a launch requirement.

Goal

Create a tracking system to prioritize and complete English anchor link addition for all 181 remaining files before the i18n docs site launch.

Spreadsheet tracker

Requirements

  1. Identify the 181 files that currently lack English anchor links
  2. Categorize files by status:
    • Files already in translation request pipeline
    • Files not yet in translation requests
    • Files that may need to be removed from upstream if translations are incomplete
  3. Prioritize completion to meet launch timeline (target: mid-November)
  4. Track progress toward 0 files missing English anchor links

Context

From issue #333 (closed), we need all translated files to include English anchor links to:

  • Enable proper link validation across the i18n docs site
  • Ensure cross-references between localized files work correctly
  • Meet launch requirements for localized documentation

Acceptance Criteria

  • Complete list of 181 files identified and documented
  • Files categorized by current translation status
  • Priority order established based on launch requirements
  • Timeline created for completing all anchor link additions
  • Process defined for removing incomplete translations from upstream if needed
