I tested the new link and it does not do the job needed. It goes to the wrong place for tkinter users looking for documentation of tk/tkinter widgets. The same was true for the two links replaced. They required just one click instead of two to get to the right place, but had disadvantages, so the new link should be kept, but as a secondary addition.

Since there is no generic 8.x Tk commands (widgets) page, the best we can do for tk widget docs is to link the most likely 8.x page (8.6 for now), and tell users to change '6' for the corresponding page for other tk versions. I use this page constantly along with the NMT 8.5 tkinter reference.
