Use the new /documentation/ URLs for links about WordPress version

[wildworks]

This is a follow-up to ticket:57726.

The link about the WordPress version redirects from https://wordpress.org/support/wordpress-version/version-{version}/ to https://wordpress.org/documentation/wordpress-version/version-{version}/. I think we should rewrite these links to avoid extra redirects as well as ticket:57726.

Hello and thanks for the patch!
Moving for 6.3 consideration.

We also missed a few documentation URLs in options-permalink.php for the previous ticket:

• https://wordpress.org/support/article/using-permalinks/ (line 227) => ​https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/customize-permalinks/
• https://wordpress.org/support/article/changing-file-permissions/ (lines 468, 500 and 536) => ​https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/changing-file-permissions/

Plus, the support link in class-wp-site-health.php could be updated to the forums URL:

• https://wordpress.org/support (line 1461) => ​https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

Other ​admin links that still include support URLs seem correct.

The ​editor documentation links probably need to be changed in the plugin first.

I thought it would be better to update the permalinks in groups, but if it would be better to do it as a whole, I would be happy to accommodate.

The editor documentation links probably need to be changed in the plugin first.

A separate PR has been submitted regarding the update links in the Gutenberg plugin: ​https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/49537

Sorry about adding that comment before the PR was committed. Yes, I agree that changing in groups would be good.

Alright, all the grouped patches were committed. Thanks!
Closing this as fixed for now as I couldn't find any other occurrence.

Please feel free to reopen this ticket if further changes are needed :)

Thank you for the update. I have searched the latest trunk for the keyword /support/, and it appears to be no URLs left that cause a redirect.
