* DOC: fix broken link to wxPython Widget Inspection Tool The wiki.wxpython.org URL returns 404. Point readers to the current official documentation at docs.wxpython.org instead. Refs #30306. * DOC: restructure wx5 example to use wx.App with InspectableApp tip Per review feedback, the regular example now uses wx.App() directly so readers see the standard wxPython entry point without any debug-only machinery. A .. tip:: directive in the module docstring describes wx.lib.mixins.inspection.InspectableApp as an optional debugging aid and links to the wx.lib.inspection documentation (which replaces the now-dead wiki URL). The wx.lib.mixins.inspection import is removed since it is no longer referenced from the example code. * DOC: apply review suggestion on wx5 example Rewrite the .. tip:: in the wx5 example with the wording proposed in review, and add a wx intersphinx mapping entry so the :class:`wx.App` and :class:`wx.lib.mixins.inspection.InspectableApp` cross-references resolve under nitpicky docs builds.

 ==============
 
+.. tip::
+
+    As a development and debugging aid, you can replace :class:`wx.App`
+    by :class:`wx.lib.mixins.inspection.InspectableApp`.
+    This adds the capability to start the `Widget Inspection Tool
+    <https://wiki.wxpython.org/How%20to%20use%20Widget%20Inspection%20Tool%20-%20WIT%20%28Phoenix%29>`_
