Yesterday night, a user reported in the forum a problem with zypper, which told 
to report somewhere
with instructions somewhere-bis. The second link did not exist, had been 
removed with a link to the
new one. The new one did not exist either. I had to search for a while before 
finding the real one
for him.

Now, choose: you either update the zypper stack with a security update, or you 
(plural you) fix the
wiki link, at least till 11.1, 11.2, and 11.3 end of life.


I'm sure there are more pieces of software in oS with links in the code to the 
wiki.
