I tried to find DNF documentation for the latest Fedora release F41. I couldn't find it from the latest docs home page (I filed issue #22 there), but DuckDuckGo found me F40 documentation at https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/f40/system-administrators-guide/package-management/DNF/ . The F40 doc page has an info bar at the top promising me

⚠ Documentation for a newer release is available. View Latest

but that just takes me to the root of latest documentation, and as I filed, you can't find the administration doc from there.

Maybe View Latest linking to the root is a temporary glitch while the system-administrators-guide for F41 is missing, but if you can detect the specific page is missing then you should omit the info bar altogether or put up a different info bar "This is documentation for an older Fedora release but newer documentation isn't available yet."

The System Administrator's Guide is outdated and no longer maintained. The plan is to replace it by Fedora Tools (https://docs.stg.fedoraproject.org/en-US/tools/). But we are out of resources for now. We will open a new discussion about the topic on discussion, soon.
