Description

I think the docs could benefit from certain pages having some way to check the page's prerequisites. This way, if a page is linked to a new user, they do not get confused about some used API, which is explained on a different page. This would also remove the need to give a brief explanation on some slightly niche, but still documented API if it is used on another page.

Currently not sure how that would look. It could be on the side bar, just like the 'written-for' label?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the documentation sidebar and the existing “written-for” label mentioned in the issue. First agree on how prerequisites should appear and which pages need them; done means the design is settled and the selected documentation pages consistently expose their prerequisites.
