Description

Comment from https://github.com/pymc-devs/pymc/pull/7457#issuecomment-2317733942

This shouldn't be in discrete.rst but in the docs of the OrderedLogistic/Probit functions.

Also as @AllenDowney mentioned the description of the distributions are themselves wrong: https://github.com/pymc-devs/pymc/blob/d31301279776888c1540bfba890cba38ea250637/pymc/distributions/discrete.py#L1192

Research direction

Start with pymc/distributions/discrete.py around line 1192 and inspect the OrderedLogistic and OrderedProbit function docstrings, then compare the related content in discrete.rst. Move the domain specification to the appropriate function documentation and correct the distribution descriptions. Done means the docstrings and rendered documentation accurately describe the ordered distributions without the misplaced content in discrete.rst.
