Change templates to link to current documentation
Metadata
Current evaluation
Charmcraft templates should link charmcraft.yaml to modern docs instead of outdated juju.is pages. No comments or labels; recent template commits show active maintenance, so it needs triage.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The issue is unlabelled with zero comments, but the templates directory has active recent commits (e.g. #2753 updating URLs in profiles, #2733), so it is not stale. It is a small, well-scoped doc-link cleanup rather than a support request.
