As referenced in #260:

This is now fixed with the merge of #259. However, it is a hack, so I'm going to create a standing issue to remove the linkcheck_ignore Sphinx option when sphinx-doc/sphinx#10343 is resolved, if ever.

The linkcheck_ignore option is a complete hack. Something about the GitHub documentation URLs leads to Sphinx's link checker to fail with a 403 Client Error. This shouldn't happen. I have created an issue in the Sphinx repository here:

sphinx-doc/sphinx#10343

When that issue is resolved, then we should remove the linkcheck_ignore line from the _config.yml file.
