This was "Check the rendered docs here!" before. None of the other
job names is a full sentence.

This is on purpose so that it's obvious to find in the list of checks.

On one hand the call to action is nice, on the other hand I see the argument for consistency. I think either is fine.

If standing out is the goal, something like *** Rendered docs *** is probably more outstanding.

I liked "Check Rendered Docs" cause the other goal was making this all as obvious as possible to new contributors. While "rendered docs" is pretty obvious, the check is nice as the explicit this is what you do here.

I'm in favour of the "Check the rendered docs here!" too.

If we are wordsmithibg I would go for "check the built docs". "To render" is a pretty technical term in this context whereas "to build" is pretty straightforward. But I also agree that keeping "check" in here is useful for those who are just getting started. Whereas the tests either pass or fail, it is often necessary to check the built docs to make sure they look right. Making it clear where to find them is helpful.

Mixing everything together, I ended with "View the built docs". 😄

  • I see the point with the call to action, but "check" feels too much like a mandatory task. "view" is more informative.
  • I see the argument for "built" over "rendered"

feel like the ! is what makes it really stand out, but like this wording either way.

The ! was actually what made me stuble. I find the exclamation mark too strong and a bit offensive here. Viewing the docs is only an offer, not a mandatory or important call to action.

I think that may be cultural, as I think @story645 maybe meant it in the "have fun!" sort of way. However, even in that sense its a bit informal, and I don't think it helps get the point across, so lets merge this as-is!

Yeah I read/intended the exclamation as a "hey, you can view the docs here!" but totally see how that's a cultural thing so am fine w/ no !
