+Before creating a new issue check and make sure somebody hasn't already beat you to it. _Please take this time to also review Spectacle's [common issues][2]_. If your defect or feature request doesn't already exist feel free to create a new issue. When creating a new issue take the time to be as clear and descriptive as possible.
 
 Here are a few things to keep in mind when creating an issue for a potential defect:
 
 * What version of Spectacle did you use when encountering the defect?
 * What version of OS X did you use when encountering the defect?
-* Was there any relevant Spectacle output in the [Console][2]?
+* Was there any relevant Spectacle output in the [Console][3]?
 
 Including screenshots or videos are extremely helpful so please include them if you can. Diagrams can also be highly valuable when describing a new feature in a feature request.
