Pandas version checks

  • I have checked that the issue still exists on the latest versions of the docs on main here

Location of the documentation

https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/reference/api/pandas.DataFrame.interpolate.html

Documentation problem

It is not possible to understand what exactly the method interpolate does from reading the documentation. See e.g. this SE post for more details

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65511992/pandas-interpolation-type-when-method-index

Suggested fix for documentation

Rewrite doctstring and documentation page for the method
