Description: 

The Help Topics module should no longer be used as the functionality has been moved to the core Help module.

An update path will uninstall the help_topics module and leave behind an empty shell. This means you will see "Help Topics (experimental)" listed as deprecated on the Extend page, but looking at the codebase, all functionality has been moved to core/help as of Drupal 10.2.

Help topics continue to be defined in a module, theme, or profile's my_module/help_topics directory. And the existing alter hook, hook_help_topics_info_alter() remains the same.

The help_twig.extension and plugin.manager.help_topic services remain the same.

Note: Read documentation for Help Topics Standards and Syntax at https://www.drupal.org/docs/develop/managing-a-drupalorg-theme-module-or....
