/ref/databases lists a whole bunch of useful information on supported
databases and third-party databases, but getting a simple list of the
supported databases requires the user to read the entire page, or at very
least, pulling the top level headers from the sidebar and parsing
manually.

Incoming patch: lifting the list of supported databases above the "General
notes" section, and a link the the "Using a 3rd party database backend"
section.

Agreed (the list of officially supported databases is also in
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/faq/install/#what-are-
django-s-prerequisites FAQ]).

That section of the FAQ could do with some copyediting, I'll raise a new
ticket.

Small cleanups in documentation doesn't require tickets. TBH I like
current wording in this FAQ but we'll see :)
