Description

The deprecation of pin and unpin, and addition of endorse and unendorse don’t include an API version number on this documentation page, they just say the change was made in Mastodon 4.4.

Are these changes not meant to be tied to an API version (i.e. client devs are expected to use the main Mastodon version number for this), or is it just missing from the docs?

Determine whether the missing version number reflects project policy or an omission; done means the page clearly documents the applicable version information or policy.
