+Linking to the API
+------------------
+
+Links to the API (`api.rubyonrails.org`) are processed by the guides generator in the following manner:
+
+Links that include a release tag are left untouched. For example
+
+```
+https://api.rubyonrails.org/v5.0.1/classes/ActiveRecord/Attributes/ClassMethods.html
+```
+
+is not modified.
+
+Please use these in release notes, since they should point to the corresponding version no matter the target being generated.
+
+If the link does not include a release tag and edge guides are being generated, the domain is replaced by `edgeapi.rubyonrails.org`. For example,
+
+```
+https://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionDispatch/Response.html
+```
+
+becomes
+
+```
+https://edgeapi.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionDispatch/Response.html
+```
+
+If the link does not include a release tag and release guides are being generated, the Rails version is injected. For example, if we are generating the guides for v5.1.0 the link
+
+```
+https://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionDispatch/Response.html
+```
+
+becomes
+
+```
+https://api.rubyonrails.org/v5.1.0/classes/ActionDispatch/Response.html
+```
+
+Please don't link to `edgeapi.rubyonrails.org` manually.
