  • Drops a footnote reference that has rendered as literal [^add-external-link-via] text on the Navigation page since [UG] Navigation page: switch to navbar & sidenav terminology, cleanup markdown #2372, which added the reference without its definition; the sentence reads fine without it
  • Site-wide scan: no other orphan footnote references (two other suspects are correctly rendered indented definitions)
  • Not catchable by the current lint net: markdownlint's MD052 covers reference links/images only; footnote references are outside its rule vocabulary (verified by probe)

Preview: https://deploy-preview-2754--docsydocs.netlify.app/docs/content/navigation/

- [^add-external-link-via] shipped without its definition in google#2372, so readers see the raw marker; the sentence stands alone. Site-wide scan found no other orphan footnotes; markdownlint cannot catch this class (MD052 covers reference links/images only; footnotes are outside its rule vocabulary)
