Comment (by jorbin):

 The mentions of `add_new` and `add_new_item` in are a part of the user
 contributed examples. I think that the docs team manages those, I would
 suggest consulting with them.

 The documentation of the labels in
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/6.8/src/wp-
 includes/post.php#L2021 get_post_type_labels] is correct and as soon as
 the parsing is complete, that will be updated.

 I've asked someone to look into it].


 I can't find any uses of `labels->add_new` in core as of now, which makes
 me feel like it is essentially soft deprecated. I think it should get
 removed from the documentation (with a comment somewhere so it doesn't get
 reused for a new purpose) and a new argument should be added for the menu
 along the lines of `add_new_menu_label` that can default to `add_new_item`
 but allow folks to override it.
