Title implies there are multiple relevant `README` files, but the content relates to a single `README.md` file per repository

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

The title could be changed from About READMEs to About a/the repository README file

About READMEs could be changed from About READMEs to something else (having the same title twice in a document is confusing)

@jsoref Well...that's not ideal. That article may be in need of a ruthless edit more generally, and I think it may be my next project. In the meantime, if you or someone else wants to change that section heading to something that's actually helpful - like "About the repository README file" - I would be happy to see it improved.

@Sharra-writes I think it would make a good project, thanks! Please don't skip updating the image:

Which wasn't updated whenever someone updated https://github.com/github/docs/blob/main/README.md#github-docs-:

Use the table of contents icon on the top right corner of this document to navigate to a specific section quickly.

Note that I personally object to on the top right corner -- it should be at the top right corner or in the top right corner, but that file is almost certainly protected, so I'm not going to make a PR for it...

[Sharra-writes]

@jsoref Yeah, I'll take a look. We're trying to use fewer screenshots since the UI updates so often, so this may be a perfect candidate for removing some that aren't strictly necessary. Also agree with you about "on the top right corner." I wonder if it's a typo, because that's odd phrasing.

[jsoref]

I'm about to add a rule to my spell checker to suggest that it's an error.

Sadly it appears to be a common error:
https://github.com/search?q=%22on+the+top+right+%22+&type=code

… so at most people who use https://github.com/marketplace/actions/check-spelling with https://github.com/check-spelling/spell-check-this/blob/prerelease/.github/actions/spelling/line_forbidden.patterns will be told to stop making this mistake. (I haven't added the rule yet, I'm doing electrical work right now.)
