Mixed field in table 70.3
The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/storage-page-layout.html
Description:
The 7th line states:
pd_pagesize_version uint16 2 bytes Page size and layout version number
information
In fact there are two smallints, so the table should show two attributes:
pd_pagesize uint16 2 bytes Page size
version uint16 2 bytes Layout version number information

No, I don't think so --- this documentation matches the actual code,
in bufpage.h:
...
LocationIndex pd_lower; /* offset to start of free space */
LocationIndex pd_upper; /* offset to end of free space */
LocationIndex pd_special; /* offset to start of special space */
uint16 pd_pagesize_version;
TransactionId pd_prune_xid; /* oldest prunable XID, or zero if none */
ItemIdData pd_linp[FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_MEMBER]; /* line pointer array */
...
