On the main page for all API pages, the links to the api forms reference is no longer a link. The text is there but that's all.

Yes, I just noticed this, too! Thanks for filing the report (it always takes me so long to find the webmaster issue queue). The problem appears in all versions of the API.

One note: You can still get to the link from http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes!form.inc/group/form_api/6 (or 7 or 8) in the paragraph that reads

For information on the format of the structured arrays used to define forms, and more detailed explanations of the Form API workflow, see the reference and the Form API guide.

"reference" is linked to the correct version of the FAPI reference

I guess it would help if we set the status correctly.

I'm not seeing what is wrong. Can you post a picture of what you mean?

I go to http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal click the "Form generation" link, click the "Form API reference" link and get to http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/developer%21topics%21forms_api_referenc... which displays the Form API reference page.

What is the problem?

Last post shows the missing links on the main page for the forms api.

To be clearer, I'm talking about everything on this page from example_modules down. These used to be links, but aren't anymore.

Yes, I was referring to the "Forms API Reference" text (refer screenshot) - what's the point of that text if it is no longer a link?

Well thanks for the pictures. I see now what you mean. The text and links for api.drupal.org are actually embedded in the repository and controlled by http://drupal.org/project/api. The front page for api.drupal.org may be stored elsewhere, it is not part of the core source. It maybe part of that project.

Incidental change of title reset.

Digging in the api code led me to the Documentation Project. Looks like it's part of the documentation project, and they understand what needs to happen to fix it. See:
