Describe the bug

The 'view the project history' option, within the help file, can cause problems for a careless user. For, a user might think, falsely, that the option - the link - will lead to a full-functioning website and/or one that is of some use (beyond historical use) today.

Area of issue

Installation/Other

To reproduce

  1. Select 'help' within this context menu

One sees the following (which is fine, though white despite my dark mode):

  1. Select 'useful links'. One sees this:

  1. Click the second link, thinking - albeit carelessly - that any of the displayed links will be 'useful' in the sense of leading to fully-functioning webpages and material relevant to today's OpenShell.

Expected behavior

The 'useful links' section would do well to warn about the 'history' option. It could do so by saying something like:

NOTE: that website is no longer in active use.
