What article on docs.github.com is affected?

https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#onworkflow_dispatchinputs
https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/triggering-a-workflow#defining-inputs-for-manually-triggered-workflows

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

Going through the docs, I noticed that the example used to define inputs for manually triggered workflows is duplicate and serves no extra purpose.

Looking at the docs this extra example comes from file workflow-dispatch-inputs-example.md and was just added last month for some reason.

So my proposed fix for this would be

1. delete the file workflow-dispatch-inputs-example.md, as if we search for this file, it is only being used in 2 places, and on both of them it is only working as a duplicate, and workflow-dispatch-inputs.md seems to be useful as it also contains come extra common content.
   or
   Instead of deleting it, update the yaml part of the code in workflow-dispatch-inputs.md file with this

{% data reusables.actions.workflow-dispatch-inputs-example %}

2. Delete these lines from workflow-syntax-for-github-actions.md file.
   Not sure if the text Example of on.workflow_dispatch.inputs is important so you can confirm on that.
3. Delete this line from triggering-a-workflow.md file.

Additional information

If you look at the video, except spacing of options values, both are same example

Hey @Aashu-Dubey, thank you so much for opening this issue and proposing a well-thought-out solution. I'm wondering if it would work to just delete the example from /data/reusables/actions/workflow-dispatch-inputs.md? I think if we did that, we wouldn't need to touch anything else.

Definitely feel free to open a PR for this if you are interested, we'd really appreciate it! ✨
