Research direction

Start with the warnings documentation and review the examples at the linked pytest discussion, comparing the provided functions with -W and PYTHONWARNINGS. Done means the docs include examples for matching different warning types and clearly explain where these approaches behave differently.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

docs

This is a follow-up of GH-86438 and GH-23172. The warnings docs should include more examples to show how to match different types of warnings using both the provided functions and -W/PYTHONWARNINGS, especially since they behave differently.

At the bottom of https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/discussions/8759#discussioncomment-2818984 there are already some examples to illustrate some of the differences, even though some are specific to pytest.
