I guess the idea is that further down on this page, you are told to follow the instructions in the README here https://github.com/sagemath/sage/#readme which in turn tells you get the "sources" from here https://www.sagemath.org/download-source.html.
I agree that this is not terribly intuitive, however, the wikipedia link was introduced in commit 5cddc06a8118d8fb9211fe8232b1183daba9f01f Date: Tue Mar 29 15:11:07 2011 +0100 So it's been there for quite a while but certainly the surroundings have been modified quite a bit since then. If you want to create a PR to change that link, I am happy to give it positive review. julian On Wednesday, April 10, 2024 at 11:56:23 AM UTC+3 John Cremona wrote: > In the first line of > https://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/installation/source.html#sec-installation-from-sources > > the words "source code" are a link to the wikipedia page for "source code", > which is not very helpful.
