So to resolve this discrepancy, it seems like either both should have their own page or neither should have their own page.
Having its own page seems more useful, because then it would be available in the side menu also. It would also show up as the page title when searching through Google search results or Algolia search results.
Example
It would also be useful to have an example that shows how to get the value of one of the CLI args. Here's a couple potential examples for getting the value of the --limit flag and use a default of 999 if it is not found (I'm not sure which works or not):
invocation_args_dict.get("limit", 999)
invocation_args_dict.get("limit") or999
Important
I'm not sure if either or both of these examples work or not. At least for config.get, I think it needs to be the latter (see #3969), but I'm not sure if that also applies to invocation_args_dict or not.

also exists:https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/dbt-jinja-functions/schemas
But this page does not exist for

Rather, it is within this page instead:

I noticed this discrepancy when looking at dbt-labs/dbt-core#9600 (comment) and was researching a context variable that contains the command-line args (which ended up being
invocation_args_dict
).This is also related to #5117
