Docs have incorrect links to source.

[smithdc1]

A ticket has been opened on trac #36450 where the issue is that the [source] links in the docs have incorrect line numbers.

I've checked out main and 5.2 locally and built the docs. These generate the correct links back to the source code on GitHub.

All versions of the docs since 5.1 (the version where the switch to link to github source was made) seem to be using the same line number.

Looking at some timelines.

3rd March -- Commit which changed the line number for sum() django/django@4b977a5
12th March -- 5.1 has correct link: https://web.archive.org/web/20250312194141/https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/ref/models/querysets/
17th March -- 5.1 has incorrect link https://web.archive.org/web/20250317143719/https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/ref/models/querysets/

During this period some changes were made to the global state of Sphinx.

#1983
#1984

I'm guessing it's these commits which resulted in the change of behaviour?

@smithdc1 Hey! I’m interested in investigating this issue and learning more about how the [source] links are generated. If no one’s working on this yet, could you please assign it to me?

@AyushPatiTripathi If you'd like to investigate and prepare a patch for review that would be great. Tickets are not really aligned as such, just jump in. 👍
