Gender Rates are Not Documented Well on Website
Issue and Reproduction
Gender rates are not well documented on the API website
On the website I scrolled through every possible bit about gender to figure out what the number could possibly mean. Only upon finding the README do I find:
The chance of this Pokémon being female, in eighths; or -1 for genderless
While almost all other information on every other topic is near identical if not identical between the website and the README.
Expected Behavior
Add the quoted info above:
The chance of this Pokémon being female, in eighths; or -1 for genderless
To the website at the address: https://pokeapi.co/docs/v2.html/#genders
I found it very inconvenient that despite the website being so well documented, I could not for the life of me find any relevant information on the number returned by the API, and several Google searches failed me until I finally decided to look for the GitHub repo.
Thank You
Thank you for listening to my feedback, I love the API and would love for it to be more easily navigable for others in the future.
Hi @justingolden21, I believe there is currently a bug in our documentation.
Can you please browse this page https://pokeapi.co/docs/v2.html and scroll down (without clicking the gender link on the left column) until you find the genders section? If you manage to do it, do you see the correct text?
As of now when I'm browsing https://pokeapi.co/docs/v2.html I get the correct rate
description (that you suggested) and when I'm browsing https://pokeapi.co/docs/v2.html/#genders I get rate | The Pokémon that holds this item.
I believe it's an anchor related problem
The docs page has been bugged for some time now: Not all resource links (anchors) are working correctly within the page. @cmmartti was working on a new version of the docs page, I think, but he hasn't been able to help for personal reasons
@Naramsim
That is what I see. Thank you both for looking into this.
