When visiting a D8 status report without cron correctly set up, you are pointed to drupal.org/cron, which redirect to the D7 help for cron. From there, there's no link to the D8 help or I couldn't failed, until I changed "7" for "8" in the URL.

I think that's not obvious for people not used to Drupal documentation pages, and at this point I think we should point directly to the D8 version of that documentation.

A path alias on drupal.org cannot redirect users to a page that is specific for the Drupal version used from a site, and changing the path alias to redict to the Drupal 8 documentation would not help users who are using Drupal 7 (which is supported at least until 2021).

It's the site that should redirect to the correct page, given that the site knows which Drupal version is using.

It should be postponed to #3041926: Convert automated_cron, ban, dblog, syslog, system, update, and user module hook_help() to topic(s), which is going to remove the hook_help() implementations and replace them with Twig files.
