Hi there,

whilst researching how to write some questions with the problem technique pages on the WeBWorK MAA Wiki at https://webwork.maa.org/wiki, I notice that many of the links from the problem techniques pages such as the POD documentation and PG macros are broken.

Are these now deprecated?

I can't speak to the links, but if you are using 2.18, then now if you are in the problem editor you can click the POD button at the top to see POD, all nicely formatted.

And if you course has the PGMLlabs folder with the file(s) from the distribution model course, then also there is a PGML button to go to a PGML guide tool. (In the develop branch for 2.19, improvements to this have also been made.)

The broken links need to be fixed for the new file locations.

The problem techniques on the WeBWorK Wiki are deprecated though.  The new location for the problem techniques is https://openwebwork.github.io/pg-docs/sample-problems/techniques.html.  This is the first link on the https://webwork.maa.org/wiki/Authors page.

As Alex said, for webwork 2.18, the sample problems and POD are available from the problem editor and served by the webwork2 installation.
