Platform Restriction in Super Mario Mash-up Pack on Minecraft for Nintendo Switch is no longer mentioned on Minecraft Help

      Relates to WEB-6914

      Players, especially those who are unexperienced, currently wouldn't be able to find if the Super Mario Mash-up Pack was platform restricted before purchase in official sites, and even in physical game card boxes, requiring a purchase to find out it is.

      Proves of the issue

      1. Before early March, I could search for one in Minecraft Help which meant the Super Mario Mash-up Pack was platform-restricted (from “Can my friends on Xbox play the Super Mario Mash-Up?” in former article “Nintendo Switch Technical Support FAQ”, which is now removed from Minecraft Help).
      2. Since early March, I cannot search for one in Minecraft Help which would mean that Super Mario Mash-up Pack was platform-restricted (from "no-question-only-Different-Minecraft-Editions.png"), I was even confused for the mash-up pack being ready for cross-platform multiplayer because of that. To try that for yourselves, go to Minecraft Help, then search for “Mario” and try to look for one that has an answer that would mean the mash-up pack is platform restricted. The result should be nothing if not fixed. The only result would be "Different Minecraft Editions", but it does not have any disclaimer and is deceptive in my opinion as in WEB-6914.
      3. To prove it’s Inconsistent between the timing in Minecraft Help and the game itself, In Release 1.20.81 of Minecraft in Nintendo Switch, when you either use the skin from Super Mario Mash-up Pack or attempt to use it's resource pack or the world, the game disables cross-platform multiplayer and prevents you from playing cross-platform multiplayer (and can only play in Nintendo Switch to Nintendo Switch multiplayer) if you equipped a skin from that mash-up pack.

      The solution as a last resort is to create a way (i.e. by updating Different Minecraft Editions based of solution from WEB-6914 or creating another article) so players who want to choose one Edition of Minecraft would know that the Super Mario Mash-up Pack is currently platform restricted. Otherwise for better, please consider a solution from MCPE-181869
