Pandas version checks
- I have checked that the issue still exists on the latest versions of the docs on
main
here

Documentation problem
Copy-on-Write (CoW) section of "Previous behavior" states that the behavior before CoW leads to this output:
In [1]: df = pd.DataFrame({"foo": [1, 2, 3], "bar": [4, 5, 6]})
In [2]: subset = df["foo"]
In [3]: subset.iloc[0] = 100
In [4]: df
Out[4]:
foo bar
0 1 4
1 2 5
2 3 6
But that's the behavior that would happen after migrating to CoW
Note: this codeblock seems to be used more than once, each time having this issue
Suggested fix for documentation
Actually show "Previous behavior" on the codeblock
