What changed? Why?

docs/base-chain/network-information/network-faucets.mdx is in .mintignore and redirects to /get-started/get-funds, but get-funds still links to it ("Get free test ETH and USDC from the Base faucets"). On the live site that link 308s straight back to the page the reader is already on, so the faucet list is unreachable from anywhere.

Two more pages point at the same redirect and end up on get-funds without the information they promised: the "Get Testnet Funds" card on get-started/base-chain and the "faucets listed here" tip on specifications/reference/smart-contracts.

This PR:

  • puts a short faucet list directly in the Testnet (Base Sepolia) section of get-funds.mdx (CDP, thirdweb, Alchemy, QuickNode, Chainstack, ethfaucet.com — the entries from the old page whose links still resolve; Bware, LearnWeb3 and ethereum-ecosystem.com currently return 5xx/402 and were left out)
  • repoints the other two links to /get-started/get-funds#testnet-base-sepolia

No pages are added and docs.json is untouched, so this shouldn't trip the Get Started IA gate.

Notes to reviewers

If the intent of #1772 was to drop partner faucet listings entirely, the alternative is to keep just the CDP faucet bullet and drop the rest — the important part is that the "Base faucets" link stops looping.

How has it been tested?

node scripts/lint-mdx.js on the three files, node scripts/validate-docs-structure.js and node scripts/check-terminology.js pass. Every faucet URL in the new list was fetched and returns 200.

Screenshots

N/A (one bullet list replaces one bullet; two link targets change)
