Heads up @WordPress/docs-issues-coordinators, we have a new issue open. Time to use 'em labels.

I am adding this issue to the overhaul project. I do not recommend to work on this alone as it could create double work. The entire article needs reviewing/updating. So one or two typos here and there are not enough to bring that article up-to-date.
To whoever does the full review, please take these recommendations into consideration.
