Description
I have Data Prepper 2.12, its logs show me this line netry:
2025-09-11T13:50:38,550 [main] WARN org.opensearch.dataprepper.plugin.DeprecatedPluginDetector - Plugin name 'convert_entry_type' is deprecated and will be removed in the next major release. Consider using the updated plugin name 'convert_type'.
The problem is there is no 'convert_type' plugin documented on the Documentation page. Only convert_entry_type is mentioned.

Research direction
Start from the Data Prepper documentation page that lists the convert_entry_type processor and compare it with the deprecation message in the issue. Update the documentation so the current convert_type plugin is covered and the deprecated name is handled consistently; done means users can find documentation for convert_type.
