Description:
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.4/en/server-system-variables.html#sysvar_end_markers_in... has this link:

Text:  MySQL Internals: The end_markers_in_json System Variable
URL: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/internals/en/end-markers-in-json-system-variable.html

When following the URL you get redirected to https://dev.mysql.com/doc/dev/mysql-server/latest/ which doesn't seem to have the expected information

How to repeat:
Check the link in the end_markers_in_json docs

Hi Daniël,

A bit of history: The parent of that section (Optimizer Tracing) was originally contained in the old Internals guide. Sometime after we stopped publishing it, we started getting complaints about it no longer being available, so we dug that section out of the Internals archive and moved it into the Manual, where you can find it at https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/en/end-markers-in-json-system-variable.html (now under https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/en/optimizer-tracing.html). This fix updates the link target to the new location.

cheers

jon.
