Describe the fix or the content request.
The version selector shows (correctly) the last patch version of each minor release without showing the old patch versions (for example, v2.3.1 is there, but v2.3.0 is not there). This selector points to a URL without the patch version (for example, v2.3.1 points to quantum.cloud.ibm.com/docs/en/api/qiskit/2.3/...). Since the numbers between the dots in the versions are currently similar, I often have to think twice before selecting the right option.
I think it would be great if the patch version were not shown in the selector (i.e., v2.3 instead of v2.3.1). The patch version provides no extra information and clutters the selector a bit.
