It occurs to me that the ancient art of FAQ maintenance might help the
situation.  I think FAQs have largely been obviated by Google, but
back in the day - if you were looking for something - that was the
place to go.  Links are notoriously hard to keep up to date.  But
maybe of we concentrated a little more on just being a clearinghouse
of links that is regularly tested, maybe that would help.
