Summary

Fixes #36341

PR has been raised with the help of Claude Code

CONTRIBUTING.md linked to https://reactjs.org/docs/how-to-contribute.html while README.md already used https://legacy.reactjs.org/docs/how-to-contribute.html in all four of its occurrences. The two different URLs both resolve to the same page (the former redirects to the latter), but having them differ is unnecessarily inconsistent and can cause confusion.

This PR updates the single link in CONTRIBUTING.md to use https://legacy.reactjs.org/docs/how-to-contribute.html, making all five contribution guide references across both files consistent.

Files changed:

  • CONTRIBUTING.md — 1 URL updated

How did you test this change?

  • Verified with grep -n "reactjs.org" CONTRIBUTING.md README.md that all five contribution guide links now point to the same legacy.reactjs.org URL.
  • Ran yarn prettier — no formatting changes needed.
  • Ran yarn lincLint passed for changed files.
  • Documentation-only change; no code or test logic affected.

CONTRIBUTING.md linked to https://reactjs.org/docs/how-to-contribute.html
while README.md already used https://legacy.reactjs.org/docs/how-to-contribute.html
(four occurrences). Update the one link in CONTRIBUTING.md so both files
point to the same explicit URL.
