Ignore peerj.com/preprints/1233 in link checker#3681
Merged
Conversation
PeerJ returns 403 to GitHub Actions runners (likely Cloudflare bot detection), even though the URL resolves fine in a browser. The link is cited in building-community.md (and all translations) and the content is still valid, so adding it to the existing url_ignores list matches the pattern used for other sites that block automated requests.

PeerJ returns 403 to GitHub Actions runners (likely Cloudflare bot detection), even though the URL resolves fine in a browser. This has been failing CI on recent PRs, e.g. https://github.com/github/opensource.guide/actions/runs/26646297579.
The link is cited in
_articles/building-community.md(and all translations) supporting the claim that most projects only have one or two maintainers. The content is still valid, so adding it to the existingurl_ignoreslist matches the pattern already used for other sites that block automated requests.
