 This page gives an overview of all public pandas objects, functions and
 methods. All classes and functions exposed in ``pandas.*`` namespace are public.
 
-Some subpackages are public which include ``pandas.errors``,
-``pandas.plotting``, and ``pandas.testing``. Public functions in
-``pandas.io`` and ``pandas.tseries`` submodules are mentioned in
-the documentation. ``pandas.api.types`` subpackage holds some
-public functions related to data types in pandas.
+The following subpackages are public.
+
+ - ``pandas.errors``: Custom exception and warnings classes that are raised by pandas.
+ - ``pandas.plotting``: Plotting public API.
+ - ``pandas.testing``: Functions that are useful for writing tests involving pandas objects.
+ - ``pandas.api.extensions``: Functions and classes for extending pandas objects.
+ - ``pandas.api.indexers``: Functions and classes for rolling window indexers.
+ - ``pandas.api.interchange``: DataFrame interchange protocol.
+ - ``pandas.api.types``: Datatype classes and functions.
+ - ``pandas.api.typing``: Classes that may be necessary for type-hinting. These are
+   classes that are encountered as intermediates results but should not be
+   instantiated  directly by users. These classes are not to be confused with
+   classes from the `pandas-stubs <https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas-stubs>`_
+   package which has classes in addition to those that occur in pandas for type-hinting.
+
+In addition, public functions in ``pandas.io`` and ``pandas.tseries`` submodules
+are mentioned in the documentation.
