Comment (by dmsnell):

 I’m not sure how to edit these, but we have a couple of dangling docs
 references that would be good to update.

 - `add_theme_support()`
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference%2Ffunctions%2Fadd_theme_support%2F/#html5
 lists `script` in its example]. This documentation page seems to mix the
 DocBlock content with “More Information” that comes from somewhere not in
 the source code. If that’s the case it makes me think about augmenting the
 HTML API docs, should we get the change to do so.
 - “Adding Theme Support” in the Codex
 [https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Markup lists `script` in its example].

 Though I logged in to the Codex and the `Edit` link appeared, when I
 attempted to go ahead and make the change the page errored out with
 `Exception encountered, of type "TypeError"`.

 If none of us are sure how to update these pages we might want to ask in
 the `#docs` channel.
