I noticed one or two "monitoring" links and linkends that are slightly
inconsistent from all the others.

~~~

From "Dynamic Statistics Views"

pg_stat_activity, linkend="monitoring-pg-stat-activity-view" ==> ok
pg_stat_replication, linkend="monitoring-pg-stat-replication-view" ==> ok
pg_stat_wal_receiver, linkend="monitoring-pg-stat-wal-receiver-view"> ==> ok
pg_stat_recovery_prefetch,
linkend="monitoring-pg-stat-recovery-prefetch" ==> MODIFY
linkend="monitoring-pg-stat-recovery-prefetch-view"
pg_stat_subscription, linkend="monitoring-pg-stat-subscription" ==>
MODIFY linkend="monitoring-pg-stat-subscription-view"
pg_stat_ssl, linkend="monitoring-pg-stat-ssl-view" ==> ok

~~~

From "Collected Statistics Views"

pg_stat_archiver, linkend="monitoring-pg-stat-archiver-view" ==> ok
pg_stat_bgwriter, linkend="monitoring-pg-stat-bgwriter-view" ==> ok
pg_stat_database, linkend="monitoring-pg-stat-database-view" ==> ok
pg_stat_database_conflicts,
linkend="monitoring-pg-stat-database-conflicts-view" ==> ok
pg_stat_io, linkend="monitoring-pg-stat-io-view"> ==> ok
pg_stat_replication_slots,
linkend="monitoring-pg-stat-replication-slots-view" ==> ok
pg_stat_slru, linkend="monitoring-pg-stat-slru-view" ==> ok
pg_stat_subscription_stats,
linkend="monitoring-pg-stat-subscription-stats" ==> MODIFY
linkend="monitoring-pg-stat-subscription-stats-view"
pg_stat_wal, linkend="monitoring-pg-stat-wal-view" ==> ok
pg_stat_all_tables, linkend="monitoring-pg-stat-all-tables-view" ==> ok
pg_stat_all_indexes, linkend="monitoring-pg-stat-all-indexes-view" ==> ok
pg_stat_user_functions, linkend="monitoring-pg-stat-user-functions-view" ==> ok
pg_statio_all_tables, linkend="monitoring-pg-statio-all-tables-view" ==> ok
pg_statio_all_indexes, linkend="monitoring-pg-statio-all-indexes-view" ==> ok
pg_statio_all_sequences,
linkend="monitoring-pg-statio-all-sequences-view" ==> ok

~~~

PSA a patch to make these few changes.

Is that really worth bothering for the internal link references? This
can create extra backpatching conflicts.

I preferred 100% consistency instead of 95% consistency. YMMV.

This can create extra backpatching conflicts.

Couldn't the same be said for every patch that fixes a comment typo?
This is like a link typo, so what's the difference?

My 2 cents: Comment typos are visible to readers, so more annoying
when seen in isolation, and less likely to have surroundings that
could change in back branches. Consistency would preferred all else
being equal, but then again nothing is wrong with the existing links.
In any case, no one has come out in favor of the patch, so it seems
like it should be rejected unless that changes.

This is done.
