matplotlib.pyplot is missing from intersphinx #9331
Description
The updates to the API docs for the new v2.1 release apparently has some consequences for downstream documentation.
In a few places in astropy we link to matplotlib.pyplot using intersphinx. However the new mapping doesn't have this it any more in the module mapping part.
I wonder what is the suggested approach? I would like to avoid hard wiring a link, or not linking at all. Also, the link using the old inventory resolves to http://matplotlib.org/api/pyplot_api.html#module-matplotlib.pyplot and it still seems to work, just missing from the new inventory.

This is not only breaking your own links, but also links of other packages that want to use
intersphinxto link to thematplotlib.pyplotmodule. For example, the following example sphinx documentation worked until recently, but does not work with version2.1.0:It would be great if you could add back
matplotlib.pyplotto the API documentation.anntzer commentedon Oct 12, 2017
xref #8175 I guess the resolution should be similar.

yikes, sorry about that!

The docs have been re-built and the xref should now be there.
