In the Transactions section:

Each transaction is prefixed by a four-byte transaction version number which tells Bitcoin peers and miners which set of rules to use to validate it. This lets developers create new rules for future transactions without invalidating previous transactions.

The hyperlink to define the term transaction version number appears to just link to that same paragraph instead of a valid definition elsewhere in the documentation.

Reference: https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-guide#transactions

@acoutts thanks for reporting the issue! That behavior is actually intentional: the sentence containing that link is the definition. Other links in the docs point back to it. It's clickable so that readers can easily get the link for pasting elsewhere.

If that makes sense to you, could you please close the issue? Otherwise, I'm happy to discuss it further. Thanks again!
