The [block] command STILL does not actually exist #1140

Bug Report

Describe the current, buggy behavior

The block command still enumerated in the online docs despite not being available in the live build of the CLI. I reported this on the 28th of April (see #1002) and was told at the time that the new release was, "around the corner". It has been 4.5 months. The documentation that incorrectly asserts that the block command is available has been live since mid December of 2025 (roughly nine months ago).

Describe how other contributors can replicate this bug

  1. Go to https://developer.wordpress.org/cli/commands/block/
  2. Observe that the page you went to is live
  3. https://developer.wordpress.org/cli/commands/
  4. Observe that it provides a link to that page in the third row of the table enumerating available commands

Describe what you would expect as the correct outcome

I expect the documentation to enumerate the available commands in the currently-live version of the CLI.

Let us know what environment you are running this on

Provide a possible solution

I would recommend that the documentation be updated to not list alpha/beta commands or, if that is not an option, to at least mark the listed alpha/beta commands as available only in the alpha/beta.
