Hello,

I believe there's a mistake in the documentation of library/warnings.

https://docs.python.org/3.8/library/warnings.html#warnings.warn

"This function raises an exception if the particular warning issued is changed into an error by the warnings filter see above."

I think "see above" should be enclosed in brackets (or maybe completely removed as there is already a "(see above)" in the same text block).

Regards.

That looks like an error indeed. Are you interested on making a PR for fixing this?

Hello Pablo,

Yes, I'll be happy to make a PR.

I don't think it should be removed after all as, actually, the two "see above" do not refer to the same paragraph ("Warning Categories" and "The Warnings Filter" respectively).

Reading the dev guide, I see there is actually no need to open an issue for mere typos. I should have made a PR directly...

Closing as a duplicate of #35563, which converts the 'see above' to links.
