René's URL Explorer Experiment

{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"Display warning on out-of-date documentation websites","articleBody":"I was already beginning to file a ticket here because I didn't find any information about `pytest` in the docs until I realized that I've been using an old documentation page.\r\n\r\nI was using https://matplotlib.org/2.0.2/devel/contributing.html instead of https://matplotlib.org/devel/contributing.html\r\n\r\nAs it is now, it's hard to see that you're using the documentation of an old version, and if you're not paying attention to the URL, you might not realize it. \r\n\r\nWould it be possible to display a warning on all websites of old versions? Something like the warning displayed [here](https://matplotlib.org/1.5.3/contents.html) but with a text like \"This is the documentation of Matplotlib 2.0.2. Click here to view the documentation of the latest version.\" \r\n\r\nOne could argue that these old version documentation websites are only used by people who explicitly search for it, but I think that that's not true. I (somehow) managed to use the websites above, most likely because I was using google to get to the documentation.\r\n\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/fkohlgrueber","@type":"Person","name":"fkohlgrueber"},"datePublished":"2017-10-24T08:04:04.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":3},"url":"https://github.com/9553/matplotlib/issues/9553"}
