Would URLs get redirected?
e.g.

• https://nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/synopsis.html
• https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v24.x/api/synopsis.html

If not then I'd be inclined to not backport it to LTS releases.

IMO synopsis is usefull. But we can discuss about merging index and documentation

@MikeMcC399 I linked the wrong PR, the correct one was #59216

@AugustinMauroy @MikeMcC399 to quote myself in that PR:

• The Usage section is essentially a less detailed version of what's already covered in cli.md#synopsis.
• The Example section closely mirrors the content in the official guide on getting started with Node.js.

[AugustinMauroy]

got your idea. But IMO there are several people who just read the docs and not ressource aside or only have access to docs like in strange enterprise policy. So having small getting started on docs maybe a good thing.

So what about in documentation/index having a link to run you first node => cli page, and cli page have example of console.log() and have a link to console api

I'd love a second approval before landing this, so bump!
