I don't think we need an extra class here.

I don't see any CSS or usage of that class also don't know the history why it was added 🤔

It looks like this URL now redirect to the documentation site (https://wordpress.org/documentation/wordpress-version/version-*).

Should we update it to point to the correct location?

I think this should be updated for new versions, as it will eventually redirect to the Documentation site rather than the Support site.

I'd prefer to update it sooner rather than later so we don't end up with future tickets for the same issue.

If this needs more discussion before making the change, I'm happy to open a separate ticket.
