Fixed #8701, a couple of bad links in the docs.

Inherited Models

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you have a model that is defined using an `abstract base class`_, you don't

have to do anything special to serialize that model. Just call the serializer

on the object (or objects) that you want to serialize, and the output will be

a complete representation of the serialized object.

If you have a model that is defined using an :ref:`abstract base class

<abstract-base-classes>`, you don't have to do anything special to serialize

that model. Just call the serializer on the object (or objects) that you want to

serialize, and the output will be a complete representation of the serialized

object.

However, if you have a model that uses `multi-table inheritance`_, you also

need to serialize all of the base classes for the model. This is because only

the fields that are locally defined on the model will be serialized. For

example, consider the following models::
