+### GitLab `/help` tests
+
+Several [rspec tests](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/spec/features/help_pages_spec.rb)
+are run to ensure GitLab documentation renders and works correctly. In particular, that [main docs landing page](../../README.md) will work correctly from `/help`.
+For example, [GitLab.com's `/help`](https://gitlab.com/help).
+
+CAUTION: **Caution:**
+Because the rspec tests only run in a full pipeline, and not a special [docs-only pipeline](#branch-naming), it is possible
+to merge changes that will break `master` from a merge request with a successful docs-only pipeline run.
