All of the pages in the testing section of the documentation say "This page was deleted."

They definitely existed yesterday. What happened?

Found this, which explains the reason for the documentation being removed: [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/55257](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/55257)

Maybe this explanation should be in the redirect notice, as the page is still indexed by Google.
