Rewrite about/landing-page descriptions (next trees)#2718
Conversation
Audit and rewrite frontmatter descriptions for the about bucket and small orphan landing pages in the unversioned (next) trees: calico/about (11 files), calico/get-help (1 file), calico-enterprise/about (2 files), calico-enterprise/installation (1 CE installation index landing page), calico-cloud/about (2 files), and calico-cloud/get-help (1 file). Each new description names its canonical product (Calico Open Source, Calico Enterprise, or Calico Cloud), stays under 200 characters, avoids the forbidden words enable/disable/teaching, contains no colons, and is unique across products. Cross-product disambiguation framing follows the pattern from earlier sibling PRs: Calico Open Source descriptions use upstream/open-source framing, Calico Enterprise descriptions use self-managed/Tigera-supported framing, and Calico Cloud descriptions use Tigera-hosted/managed-SaaS framing. Pre-fix snapshot of the same 18 files: 0 descriptions over 200 chars, 0 forbidden words, all 18 missing a canonical product name, and 4 cross-product duplicates from the boilerplate "A brief description of Calico..." and "Compare Calico product editions..." strings. Next-only on purpose; versioned mirrors will be applied in a follow-up after review.

Pull request overview
This PR updates the frontmatter description metadata across the unversioned (“next”) documentation trees for Calico Open Source, Calico Enterprise, and Calico Cloud, focused on the about/ and get-help/ areas plus one CE installation landing page. The goal is to make descriptions product-specific, unique across products, and more descriptive for SEO/snippets while keeping the change scope to a single line per file.
Changes:
- Rewrites
description:frontmatter on 18 pages to include the canonical product name and more specific page intent. - Removes cross-product boilerplate duplication on “about” and “product editions” landing pages by differentiating wording per product.
- Updates support/help page descriptions to reflect the correct support channels per product (community vs Tigera support portal/in-console).
