Broken link to "Edit on Github" in ipython documentation

[btel]

The API documentation on readthedocs contains a link "Edit on github" in the header. Clicking on the link brings us to a 404 github page:

For example,

Documentation page: https://ipython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/generated/IPython.conftest.html

Github link: https://github.com/ipython/ipython/blob/master/docs/source/api/generated/IPython.conftest.rst

Aww augustogoulart, I was not able to apply the following label(s): good first issue. Either because they are not existing labels on this repository or because you do not have the permission to apply these.I tried my best to guess by looking at the casing, but was unable to find matching labels.

Hi, @btel I would like to work on this. Can you please assign? Also since I am doing this for the first time, it would be really helpful if you can guide me.

Hi @nusart, since I am not a maintainer of the project, I can not assign you. I did a quick check to understand where the problem comes from, but I couldn't make much progress. I guess you would need to dig into the innerworkings of sphinx and readthedocs template (https://github.com/readthedocs/sphinx_rtd_theme/blob/master/sphinx_rtd_theme/breadcrumbs.html).

A good first step would be to generate the docs locally and check whether this error appears as well.

Not sure if I'm looking at the right thing, but the links in the docs this issue mentions are still broken.

.gitignore contains "docs/source/api/generated" so the pages aren't a part of the repository.
The pages seem to be generated based off of comments in the code, so should the edit button link back to that?

[MrMino]

@23kcarlson that would be the best option, but I'm not sure it is feasible.
