     * You can normally quickly detect it by going to the "Files changed" tab in the PR and checking if the updated file(s) starts with `docs/en/docs`. The original version of the docs is always in English, so in `docs/en/docs`.

-* The content of the link should be about FastAPI.
-* The new addition should have these fields:
-    * `author`: The name of the author.

 ## Dependabot PRs
 
 Dependabot will create PRs to update dependencies for several things, and those PRs all look similar, but some are way more delicate than others.
 
-* If the PR is for a direct dependency, so, Dependabot is modifying `pyproject.toml`, **don't merge it**. 😱 Let me check it first. There's a good chance that some additional tweaks or updates are needed.
-* If the PR updates one of the internal dependencies, for example it's modifying `requirements.txt` files, or GitHub Action versions, if the tests are passing, the release notes (shown in a summary in the PR) don't show any obvious potential breaking change, you can merge it. 😎
