+When contributing to docs, please don't update the content in the v2.x folder.
+It's better to update the versioned docs, for example, the v2.5 or v2.6 docs.
+
+This content in v2.x was separated into versioned documentation during the v2.5.8
+release. The content relevant to Rancher versions before v2.5 went into the v2.0-v2.4
+folder, while the content related to Rancher v2.5 went into the v2.5 folder.
+
+We are trying to get the 2.x content to be removed from Google search results. The only
+reason we haven't deleted it is because Google search results would lead to 404
+errors if we deleted it.
