Run an Article Link Destination Check With a Filipino Assistant
A destination check verifies that a working link still supports the sentence and sends readers where the label promises.
Published: · 8 minute read
The short answer
A link can return a successful response and still be wrong for the article. A Filipino assistant can open each material destination and compare the live page with the claim, label, and source note in the draft.
Record redirects, missing passages, changed dates, login barriers, and destinations that now cover a different subject. For internal links, confirm the family and title match the reason given to the reader.
The assistant may replace an obvious broken path with the publisher's current equivalent when the meaning is unchanged. A changed claim, new source, or commercial destination needs editor review.
Check links again on the live route. Build-time validity does not prove that the public reader receives the intended page.
Test the destination check on a small batch first. Keep one normal item, one returned item, and one exception in the review sample. Record what changed before expanding the routine.
The assistant can prepare the record and point out gaps. The named manager still decides priorities, unusual customer requests, access changes, payments, policy, and publication.
