https://docs.ros.org/en/foxy/Releases/Release-Jazzy-Jalisco.html is the first google search result for ros jazzy, but the top of the loaded page shows this:

You're reading the documentation for a version of ROS 2 that has reached its EOL (end-of-life), and is no longer officially supported. If you want up-to-date information, please have a look at Iron.

Jazzy Jalisco (codename ‘jazzy’; May, 2024)

ros_jazzy_foxy_eol

The message is referring to foxy of course, but the page is about jazzy, making it seem like it is EOL (despite not having been released yet)- if the EOL message clearly mentioned foxy instead of 'a version' it may help though would still be a little confusing.

I think this also boils over to other pages too like https://docs.ros.org/en/rolling/The-ROS2-Project/Contributing/Contributing-To-ROS-2-Documentation.html#building-the-site-locally as this does not change with the distro but with changes in the websites codebase.

Victor-Boyd added a commit to Victor-Boyd/ros2_documentation that referenced this issue Feb 21, 2024
This commit modifies the Sphinx template logic to prevent the version warning message from appearing on the 'Contributing to ROS 2 Documentation' page and any pages within the 'Releases' section. The update is aimed at improving user experience by selectively displaying version warnings only where relevant.

Additionally, this change addresses and resolves issues ros2#3949 and ros2#3966, which were related to unwanted version warning messages on documentation pages deemed unnecessary for such alerts.

- Exclude '/Contributing/Contributing-To-ROS-2-Documentation.html' from version warning messages.
- Exclude any pages under '/Releases/' from version warning messages.
- Fixes ros2#3949 and ros2#3966.
