Use only `Contributes to #`. +9. **Preserve the link's extension style.** When fixing a broken link, only correct what's actually wrong (the path, typo, or domain). Do not add a `.md` extension to a link that didn't originally have one, and do not strip a `.md` extension that was already present. Changing the style is an unrelated edit and violates Rule 4.
