The ''Writing your first contribution for Django'' tutorial refers to
version 2.2 a couple of times in the ''Writing documentation'' section.
Although it does say "at the time of this writing," that's still 7+ years
out of date (at the time of ''this'' writing).

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/6.1/intro/contributing/#writing-
documentation

Would we want to add this to the list of places the version number should
be bumped at the start of each release cycle?

Or if we're comfortable leaving the outdated version in the tutorial,
closing this ticket "wontfix" will at least record that decision (where it
can hopefully be found by the next person who notices the old version
number).

[There are also some problems with the Sphinx content in that section, for
which I'll open a typo PR.]
