Description Pierre Prinetti 2022-01-05 10:13:15 UTC
Description of problem:
On all pages of getfedora.org I am presented with a blue header bar containing three menus: "Editions", "Help" and "Wiki". Those items are universal in the context of Fedora: when clicking on "Help->Documentation" for example, I am asked to choose from all possible help topics independently of the page I am currently seeing. This behaviour, which is easy to understand on the Fedora home page, can be confusing when I land (say, from a search engine) directly on the page of a specific Fedora edition.

For example: upon landing on the Fedora IoT downloads page[1], I might want to check the docs. If I click on "Help->Documentation" (the only apparent link to the docs), I am presented a list of many products to choose from, whereas I expected to navigate in the context of Fedora IoT.

Perhaps the problem could be solved by simply adding a "Documentation" link next to "Overview" and "Download" in the gray header bar, which (as opposed to the blue one) is apparently contextual to the specific edition I am seeing. This new "Documentation" link would directly point to the documentation of the specific Fedora edition: in the example of Fedora IoT, that would be 'https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/iot/'.
