At least describe them once, even if you choose to refer from one doc string to another for some of them. In particular, Emacs 25 apparently added parameter REGION-NONCONTIGUOUS-P, but there is no description of it. There also seems to be nothing in the Emacs 25 NEWS about query-replacement now being restricted to a rectangular region. That's too bad - doesn't help users as much as they deserve. There also seems to be nothing in the Emacs manual about this feature. Again, too bad.
