Yes, I would accept a PR for this. We still maintain the 5.1 docs. We don't need repro steps, just a NOTE added to the parameter similar to what we have for `-Include`.

The sidebar nav was removed from the Learn platform and replaced with the list of suggested articles. I don't like it, but is it a platform design decision that I, as an writer, can't change.

How would you organize the documentation? It is not a simple task. There are lots of different kinds of docs. And docs are written for different purposes and audiences. There is a difference between reference docs and teaching docs.

Specifically, the articles in the learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powers... were written by Bruce Payette. It is legacy content that was originally publish as a Word doc. We don't intend to change. It is provided for historical reference. It is was written for v3 and isn't 100% accurate for v7+.

Yes, there is an official style. We try to make all of the documentation adhere to our style. Caveats:
1. We maintain over 9000 documents for PowerShell and the PowerShell SDK.
2. Much of that content was written by others, long before I joined the team.
3. We fix the style as we go.
