Welcome to the official home of the WordPress documentation team.
This team is responsible for all things documentation, including the Codex (moving to HelpHub), handbooks, developer.wordpress.org, admin help, inline docs, and other general wordsmithing across the WordPress project.

We need your help keeping content current with each WordPress release and adding new content and screenshots to:
As part of the official documentation roadmap devised by the Docs team in Cincinnati in 2013, much of the work the docs team is doing of late centers around migrating useful content from the Codex to official handbooks or to the developer hub, with the ultimate goal being to eventually shut down the Codex.
They should be converted to inline docs in the function header. In our example, refer this source code. https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/5.2/src/wp-includes/plugin.php#L384 As you see, function header includes description and @since, @param and @return tags. Those are inline docs, and automatically, they are converted to the Code Reference.
Already, all functions have inline docs but not have the same level information with Codex. It means many information were dropped during initial function header creation. For inline docs, refer this page: https://make.wordpress.org/docs/handbook/code-reference/inline-documentation/ You need some development skill to build the environment.
They should be migrated to the Explanation field of Code Reference. This is displayed as “More Information” section in the Code Reference. To edit the Explanation field, your WordPress.org account must have been added as an editor role or above on the Developer Reference. Need to be added? Go to the #docs channel on slack and ask someone to add you.
