Description

[Adding a webhook](https://matrix-org.github.io/matrix-hookshot/setup/webhooks.html#adding-a-webhook) should be moved from setup to usage section.

The border is blurred, but i think you should try to split the docs into
1. installation instructions e.g. config file etc, i.e. what the admin does
2. "runtime" config aka room state, i.e. setup by users of your instance

Research direction

Start with the setup/webhooks.html page and its “Adding a webhook” section. Review the surrounding setup and usage documentation, then separate administrator installation/configuration guidance from runtime room-state instructions for instance users. Done means the webhook guidance is in the usage section and the two audiences have clearer documentation boundaries.
