About page - use version as variable

[Presskopp]

what about using a variable for the version in the "field guide" string?

PHPCS fixes + Translator comment updated.

You say The WordPress version.

Maybe we should be consistent in the comments and say WordPress version number like in 5 other instances in the about.php file

The idea looks good to me, but I’d suggest the field guide url could be translatable as well, since some Locales are translating this post.

[Presskopp]

patch makes the url translatable and also adjusted it from giving a 'Page Not Found'

Just applied the most recent patch, and it seems to work!

The previous patch includes a link to the WordPress 5.9 Field Guide, which is no longer there in 6.0.

54741.5.diff​ applies the suggested changes to the current About page:

• It looks like the Field Guide string was already made reusable for multiple releases in [53339] / #55434.
• The patch makes the Release Notes string reusable too.

Looks good to me, thanks Sergey! 👌

In 54219:

Help/About: Make translator comments version agnostic and make version translatable on the About page.

In past versions of the About page, translator comments referencing the Field Guide and Release Notes links included the current version number. This change updates these translator comments to remove a specific version number, which was not necessary.

This change also abstracts the version number out of the "Read the WordPress X.X Release Notes" string, making it translatable.

Props Presskopp, audrasjb, SergeyBiryukov, marybaum.
Fixes #54741.
