The UEFI Specification contains external reference links to other websites that may change on occasion. To help manage the external reference links in the specifications, a master list has been created below. If a link changes, the updated link will be provided in the list below. This change will take place in lieu of creating a new version of the UEFI specification to fix dead links.
