Issue with current documentation:

It seems that maximum_sctype is now deprecated, compare https://numpy.org/neps/nep-0052-python-api-cleanup.html#cleaning-up-the-main-namespace:

All *sctype functions can be deprecated and removed, they (see gh-17325, gh-12334, and other issues for maximum_sctype and related functions).

Unfortunately,

• the migration guidelines on maximum_sctype is empty, https://numpy.org/devdocs/numpy_2_0_migration_guide.html#main-namespace
• ENH: add a canonical way to determine if dtype is integer, floating point or complex #17325 and DOC: sctypes & sctypeDict not documented #12334 are not helpful, either
• I find no other issues on maximum_sctype that are helpful
• maximum_sctype was removed in API: deprecate undocumented functions #24154 (note: "undocumented functions") although maximum_sctype is documented

In summary, when documented functions are deprecated, I'd expect some assistance in migration.
