Heads up for the Gitlab people here-- The user preferences link under try it yourself 404s for me, both when logged in and out. Excited to try out these changes though!

Edit: Appears to be the same path but with `about` subdomain

Thanks for the heads up, we are investigating this now.
GitLab should make it so that anyone who reaches a 4xx or 5xx error page should be able to trivially (as in one click from the error page) file a bug about it on the GitLab tracker. Make sure to pre-populate the template with URL, status code, and referer.
You're assuming they're not doing that automatically in the background. I'd rather assume that they're already getting at least all 5xx reports. (it would be a big failure otherwise)
A fix has been made, the website should auto update with the correct link soon. Thanks for reporting this!
