Reported during the link/rendering review in #19. Tracked separately because the correct fix is a content-owner decision, not a mechanical one.
Problem
Reference-style Markdown links in ~10 historical articles point to old WordPress site sections that 404 on the current Hugo site. These surface as broken links on article pages and on paginated list/summary pages.

Notes
- Some reference definitions also have mismatched link titles, e.g.
[1]: /newsletter/ "PowerShell Script that Relaunches as Admin", suggesting the migration tool collapsed several distinct URLs onto one wrong target. Worth verifying each link's intended destination against the original post rather than just retargeting the path.
To find all occurrences
grep -rnE '\]:?\s*(/discuss/|/newsletter/|/games/|/people/|/members|/ebooks/|/videos/|/wp/)' content/
Acceptance
- Each link either retargeted to a valid destination or removed/de-linked where no equivalent exists.
- A clean Hugo build with no remaining internal links to these paths.
