I began looking into writing an installation profile in D8 by looking in the profiles README. That file tells readers to check out the README in the root directory for information on developing an installation profile. So I went to the root README and scrolled down to the "Installation Profiles" section. In that section there is a link to "Develop your own installation profile or distribution: https://www.drupal.org/developing/distributions" which links to D7 documentation at https://www.drupal.org/docs/7/creating-distributions but it should really be https://www.drupal.org/docs/8/creating-distributions.
I'm also of the opinion that this information could be added to the README within the profiles directory itself to remove one more step of this process but the patch is just for the updated link.

dorficus CreditAttribution: dorficus as a volunteer commentedI'm wondering if it may be simpler to change the URL redirect on d.o to point to the 8 docs instead of the 7 docs since 8 should be the default?
Comment #7
owenpm3 CreditAttribution: owenpm3 at University of Colorado Boulder commentedThat's a good idea. That would make the link look cleaner--keeping the /developing/distributions.
Comment #8
JayKandariAgreeing with #6. But not sure whether it is a simpler task than replacing url instead.
Checked #3 and can see the links pointing to correct D8 documentation for creating Drupal distributions.

cilefen CreditAttribution: cilefen commentedThis issue could be better scoped. There are two documentation links to d.o/developing/distributions in the code base. Let's retitle and rescope this, please.
As to the question in #6 of whether /developing/distributions should actually redirect to the D8 version, it would be cool if someone could get in touch with the documentation working group to find out the latest documented standard on redirects. That way we can follow a standard. Core contains a mixture of links to redirectors and direct links to D8 handbook pages. I for one would like to know where we are headed.
Thank you!

Looks like this change was made elsewhere. However, the distribution vs installation profile link is still using the Drupal 7 docs even though there is a Drupal 8 version.
