Description

This code example in section "Redacting sensitive information in logs" is incomplete because to get the code running, I have to hunt for the declaration of these types across multiple documents:

• PrivateInformationAttribute
• StarRedactor
• StarRedactorProvider

There is also an error in C# syntax:

• [MyTaxonomyClassifications.Private]
  

  docs/docs/core/extensions/logging/source-generation.md

  Lines 366 to 371 in d26cd50

  	```csharp
  	[LoggerMessage(0, LogLevel.Information, "User SSN: {SSN}")]
  	public static partial void LogPrivateInformation(
  	this ILogger logger,
  	[MyTaxonomyClassifications.Private] string SSN);
  	```

MyTaxonomyClassifications.Private is a static property inside the class MyTaxonomyClassifications thus can't be used in attribute syntax.

Correct code should be:

[LoggerMessage(0, LogLevel.Information, "User SSN: {SSN}")] 
public static partial void LogPrivateInformation( 
    this ILogger logger, 
    [PrivateInformationAttribute] string SSN); 

But PrivateInformationAttribute is current missing in this doc.
