+### Links to confidential issues
+
+Don't link directly to [confidential issues](../../user/project/issues/confidential_issues.md). These will fail for:

+Instead:
+

+- Provide a link in back ticks (`` ` ``) so that those with access to the issue can easily navigate to it.
+
+Example:
+
+```md
+For more information, see the [confidential issue](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/issues/confidential_issues.html) `https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/<issue_number>`.
