Hi there,
It's entirely possible that, given the age of the article, that information is no longer available. I'll see if I can find a definitive answer for you. Maybe someone else knows for sure before I get back to you.

The very old blog article from 2014 about creating a life sketch is not helpful since your have discovered that the links in the article are no longer "active" links.
Were you aware that a different blog article explains that we have a form that can be used to request an update to a FamilySearch Blog Article that you are interested in? Please use the link below to find the button to generate the Request an Update form.
We wish you success with making your interest known to those who may be able to help with this concern.
Adding a Life Sketch is a pretty simple process and is described in the following knowledge article about working on the Details page of your ancestors. We hope you will also find this information helpful.

If you click the link I provided in my response, you will see that this is the article from the Help Center. The URL also verifies this information is in a Help Center article. Thanks for checking to be sure the information I shared was available to users. 😉
If this response does not answer your concern, please be more specific as I don't understand what you are asking because additional wording in your post makes your question confusing to me. Apologies if I am not understanding what you have asked.

For such transitory things as blog articles, broken links are going to come up very frequently. As soon as the website an article links to does a significant update, links will usually break. You can learn two pointers from this:
1) If the blog article or whatever you are reading included enough of a title or a description, you can often use google to find where the item went to if it still exists at all. For your example, however, this doesn't work as far as I was able to see so the items were probably deleted.
2) Nothing on the internet is as permanent as it might appear, so when creating sources and such in Family Tree, if you are providing a URL, be sure you also provide enough information that someone can still find what you are linking to when the URL breaks, even if that means going to a library and pulling a book of a shelf or writing to an archive for documentation.

What I am asking is ...
Is there, such an "Article Brief", for "Knowledge Articles", in 'FamilySearch'?
As, that link, that you provided, ONLY appears to relate to, Articles, in the 'FamilySearch' "Blog" ...
What about the SAME, for "Knowledge Articles", in 'FamilySearch'?
Is there ANY such thing ...

If you are asking for a general knowledge article that can address problems with all of the articles in the Help Center that may have "broken links", to my knowledge, there is not an article with a generic form that would allow our guests to report issues they find through a form. [I found the article about the blog form because the question that started this discussion was specifically about a Blog article.]
The FamilySearch Help Center is accessed through the icon that looks like a circle which a question mark. To find specific instructional information there, it is wise to use keywords or a phrase about your concern. That will generate a list of results that are hopefully about your concern.
When reporting a problem, please provide a specific URL and your exact concern about the information you found through the FamilySearch Help Center that you believe needs to be "fixed". This allows those with specific rights to forward your concerns to the individuals who help produce and update Help Center information.
If you have questions about using the Community Help Center [which you access with the link at the top of this page], those questions can be identified on the Community Home page or in the Community Help Center General Questions category.
I hope this answers you question.
