Description
The help that covers the Chocolatey parameters states that specific versions of Chocolatey / Chocolatey For Business is required. An example of this is (`choco source -?`):
```
--adminonly, --admin-only
Visible to Administrators Only - Should this source be visible to non-
administrators? **Requires business edition (v1.12.2+). Defaults to false.
Available in 0.10.8+**.
```
(emphasis mine).
This is very confusing as it's not clear what is actually required. The requirements for this parameter is:
* Chocolatey Licensed Extension 1.12.2 or later.
* Chocolatey 0.10.8 or later.
We should make sure that the help, for all parameters (not just the one above), is clear on what the specific requirements are.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by running `choco source -?` and reviewing the help-generation or parameter-definition entry points for `--adminonly`/`--admin-only`. Compare the displayed requirements with the stated Chocolatey Licensed Extension and Chocolatey version requirements, then check the help for all parameters and update any similarly ambiguous wording.
