https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/FAQ is not meant for manual modification.
It is auto-generated from pve-faq.adoc and also included in the doc:
https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#faq-support-table

I am not sure if quick edits are needed here. While the estimated EOL
should not change, the other table content and admin guide version
may/should be updated anyway with new PVE/Ceph releases.

In this case adding "_repository_management" seems fine to me, although
our forum shows only 2 results for it.
