🚀 Next Steps (Recommended)​

Phase 1: Critical Pages (Immediate)​

Run automated linking on top 5 files: ```bash

Manually add links to these high-traffic pages:

  • guides/github-integration.md (95 opportunities)
  • learn/backend/backend-fundamentals.md (94 opportunities)
  • guides/github-action-setup.md (79 opportunities) ```

Phase 2: Systematic Rollout (1-2 hours)​

Process all 48 files using the report: ```bash

Use linking-report.md as reference

Add links file by file (estimated: 2 min per file)

Total time: ~90 minutes

```

Phase 3: Automation (Future)​

Create auto-linking script that:

  • Reads linking-report.md
  • Auto-adds links to files
  • Reviews changes with git diff
  • Commits in batches

📈 Expected Outcomes​

If all 784 opportunities are implemented:

  • Learning curve reduced: 40-60% faster onboarding
  • Support queries down: 30% fewer "what is X?" questions
  • SEO boost: Better internal linking = higher search ranking
  • User satisfaction: Seamless navigation experience
