I think this can be blamed on a9ba6195f, which I only back-patched as far as 9.5 --- guess I didn't realize that the bogus section name existed further back. So I think the answer to your direct question is "a single page", but maybe we should instead proceed by bringing 9.4 into line with the later branches and then updating the docs?
Adding the mapping to the website was a single row in a db table, and is already done, so it wasn't a lot of work. But there might be other reasons to change it of course, for consistency.
Of course, actually *changing* it in 9.4 now will break any external links pointing to it. Links within our own documentation will pick it up and change accordingly, but anything that's linking from the outside will generate 404s.
