Description C. D. Tavares 2021-07-02 07:13:46 UTC 
Wiki says on multiple pages that the list of tests (with scores) is available at a provided hotlink named "tests." Clicking that link results in a message that there is no such page and that perhaps the "old" website should be scanned. Checking the old website shows several versioned lists of tests, the most recent being from 2017. This list does not contain a number of current test names that are showing up in the mail log I am using to debug my issue. 

If there is a current list of tests, it is not findable from the Wiki; if there is no current list and we are expected to get this information some other way, the Wiki should describe that procedure, in place of the dead link. 

Thank you.

The only current "list of tests" is the rules distribution itself, published nightly. The current version can be retrieved using the sa-update tool.  

I have deleted the obsolete RuleDescriptionTemplate page from the wiki, which was the only place I found a link to the old tests list. It would help to know where else you have found that link so that I can fix them as well to direct people to the svn repository or sa-update.

These are two pages where the "list of tests" is linked to a dead link. There may be others. You may be able to search for links to tests.html in the entire wiki; on my end, the search function refuses to find link targets, only text.

I've corrected the wiki references to the no-longer-existing list of rules.
