Problem

https://matplotlib.org/devdocs/users/explain/index.html has seen significant new material added. In particular

• https://matplotlib.org/devdocs/users/explain/axes/axes_intro.html
• https://matplotlib.org/devdocs/users/explain/artists/artist_intro.html
• the new material in DOC: remove users_explain/axis #26279 (not on devdocs as of this Issue).

I'd expand this list to the quick-start guide:

• https://matplotlib.org/devdocs/users/explain/quick_start.html

which I think could use some revision in light of where it now stands in the docs (some things could be removed and reference other parts of the new User Guide)

I wrote these, and they had minimal input from others. I think they are necessary as placeholders and not embarrassing in their content. However, they could benefit from other input now that they are in place, and follow-on PRs (or issues if they are focused) are most welcome. Indeed I'll try and stay out of reviewing any changes, unless I really feel things are going off the rails. If we are talking further reorganization, I would like to be part of the conversation, and I'd encourage discussion before anyone puts a lot of work into that.

I don't think improving these is urgent, and can happen in point releases.

EDIT: Another important suggestions is more cross linking to the Examples.
