 This PEP introduces a simple and intuitive way to annotate methods that return
 an instance of their class. This behaves the same as the ``TypeVar``-based
-approach specified in PEP 484 [#pep-484-self-type]_ but is more concise and

 Similar discussions on a ``Self`` type in Python started in Mypy around 2016:
