Why this is a good first issue
The issue involves a straightforward documentation formatting change.
AI Summary
The API docs version header incorrectly uses a 'v' prefix, contrary to the Node.js documentation style guide. The task involves removing this prefix from the version header in the documentation. There are no apparent blockers, but care must be taken to ensure the change does not affect other documentation rendering processes.
Issue Description
Refs: https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/61231
Situation
The version header of the API docs https://nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/ displays
"Node.js v25.4.0 documentation"
using v notation as a version prefix.
The Node.js documentation style guide > Version references section specifies that this should be written without the v prefix.
"Node.js 25.4.0 documentation"
For comparison, the Blog post announcing the release of Node.js 25.4.0 displays without the v prefix, in alignment with the style guide.
Suggestion
Remove the v prefix from the version header in https://nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/.
Note that this issue is not seen in the preview https://nodejs-api-docs-tooling.vercel.app/ mentioned in https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/52343 , so this would resolve the issue if changes corresponding to the preview were to be moved into production.
