Both BIPs added a changelog entry on 2026-01-23 referencing the updated BIP Process meta-BIP with the wrong form: - bip-0360.mediawiki:404 rendered `[[bip-0003.mediawiki|BIP 003]]`, but the actual file is `bip-0003.md`. The MediaWiki link therefore failed to resolve to the BIP 3 page on the bitcoin/bips GitHub wiki render and on the bips.dev / bip339 style mirrors — readers of the bip-0360 changelog landed on a 404. - bip-0347.mediawiki:170 wrote the same reference as bare text `BIP 003` with no link at all, so readers of bip-0347 had no way to navigate to the BIP 3 they were meant to follow. Rewrite both entries to use the canonical form `[[bip-0003.md|BIP 3]]`: - `bip-0003.md` matches the actual filename. - `BIP 3` matches the display text convention the README (line 40) and every other BIP in this repository already use when linking to bip-0003 — "BIP 003" with the three-digit zero-pad appears nowhere else in the repo for any BIP and is not part of the display style described in BIP 2. Also drops the trailing whitespace on the bip-0347 line while we are there (the `typos` CI tolerates it but it is inconsistent with every other line in the same changelog block).

Two BIPs added a changelog entry on 2026-01-23 referencing the updated BIP Process meta-BIP (BIP 3) with the wrong form:
[[bip-0003.mediawiki|BIP 003]], but the actual file in this repository isbip-0003.md(no MediaWiki variant exists). The wiki link therefore fails to resolve — readers of the bip-0360 changelog landed on a 404.BIP 003with no link at all, so readers of bip-0347 had no way to navigate to BIP 3.Both entries were added on the same day (2026-01-23) with the same mistaken "BIP 003" (three-digit zero-pad) display text.
Fix
Rewrite both entries to use the canonical form
[[bip-0003.md|BIP 3]]:bip-0003.mdmatches the actual filename.BIP 3matches the display text convention the README already uses at line 40 ([[bip-0003.md|3]]). "BIP 003" with the three-digit zero-pad appears nowhere else in this repository for any BIP.Verification
ls bip-0003.*→bip-0003.md+bip-0003/(image asset directory). Nobip-0003.mediawikifile exists.bip-XXXX.{mediawiki,md}filename references across every.mediawiki/.mdfile in the repository;bip-0003.mediawikiwas the only one that does not resolve to an existing file.bip-0003.md, establishing the correct form.
