As of commit 3acdcc3 on 2025-12-04 with fresh bikeshed update, Bikeshed emits the following lint:

LINE 7998:12: Multiple possible 'success' dfn refs.

[=success=]

The intent is to link to https://w3c.github.io/webdriver/#dfn-success , but the reference is now ambiguous and can also refer to https://infra.spec.whatwg.org/#success (which is the one Bikeshed picked in this case).

Proposed Change

Add spec:webdriver2; type:dfn; text:success to <pre class="link-defaults">, or disambiguate the autolinks with a spec attribute: <a spec="webdriver2">success</a>.
