      Issue Summary

      Currently, the link-fixing service will correct links if it is in the following pattern:
      https://<confluence.source.com>/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=12345

      However, Confluence links with the pattern:

      • https://<confluence.source.com>/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=12345.
      • https://<confluence.source.com>/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=12345#anchor

      will not be corrected.

      It appears that due to the additional character '.' or '#', the service fails to recognize this link and update it properly.

       

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create Confluence link with an additional character at the end of the pattern
      2. Perform Link Migration Service to resolve broken links: After a successful server to cloud migration URL links are broken in the new cloud instance

      Expected Results

      After running the service, the expectation is that the link will be resolved.

      Actual Results

      The specific link pattern is skipped and not properly updated.

      Workaround

      As indicated in the documentation:
      We also have a legacy way of requesting link fixes. If the steps described here don’t work for you, you can try it instead. In some cases, you might also be asked by our Support team to complete it. For more information, see: Legacy way of fixing links.
