    Okay, took me a while to fix all the little nasty "bugs" I caused, but the page should be 'better' now. (At least with a working link and tikz-cd commuting diagrams).
    I will make sure that every time during my research I come across a nLab page with array commuting diagrams, I fix that page to have tikz-cd commuting diagrams. Likewise for broken Hatcher links.

    Thanks!

    That sounds great. Will be much appreciated!

    added (here) the statement that collapsing contractible subcomplexes does not change the homotopy type, with pointer to Hatcher’s p. 11 and including the graphics for one of the examples Hatcher gives.

    Then added the following immediate generalization of this example:

    For Σ g,n 2\Sigma^2_{g,n} the result of equipping a closed surface Σ g 2\Sigma^2_g with n2n \geq 2 punctures, the one-point compactification (Σ g,n 2) *\big(\Sigma^2_{g,n}\big)^\ast is homotopy equivalent to the wedge sum of the original surface with n1n-1 circles:

    (Σ g,n 2) *Σ g 2 n1S 1. \big(\Sigma^2_{g,n}\big)^\ast \;\simeq\; \Sigma^2_g \,\vee\, \textstyle{\bigvee_{n-1}} S^1 \,.
