 say that in this case, that would be better to refer to the existing
 documentation, like, for example:

 >  * Display or retrieve the HTML list of categories.
 >  *
 >  * @see get_terms() for the full list of arguments.

 I think I would suggest referring to {{{get_categories()}}} instead as
 it's explicitly used.

 I remember the discussion when we adjusted the {{{wp_tag_cloud}}}
 documentation:

 https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_tag_cloud/

 in #42019. That's one way to refer to the other supported input arguments.

 Similarly for {{{get_categories()}}} input arguments:

 includes/category.php#L9
