I have linked back to these sections from the operations manual documentation of these commands. There doesn't seem much point documenting it twice.

I think all sections related to database administration should go to the Operations manual, and here, we can add just one link.

Do we want to add something like this for the remote alias case I mentioned on slack (in addition to having a short sentence about it somewhere as we discussed)
| *Existing user databases:* `CYPHER 5` + | |
| *New user databases default:* `CYPHER 5` | |
| *Existing user databases:* `CYPHER 5` + | |
| *Existing non-constituent remote database aliases:* `CYPHER 5` + | |
| *New user databases and non-constituent remote database aliases default:* `CYPHER 5` |
(if yes, then we should also update the other two rows in the table)

| To select a different default Cypher version for a database, add `DEFAULT LANGUAGE <language version>` to the link:{neo4j-docs-base-uri}/operations-manual/current/database-administration/standard-databases/create-databases/[`CREATE DATABASE`] statement. | ||
| This can be done on any Neo4j database. | ||

| Selecting `CYPHER 5` as the default database language ensures that every query run on that database uses the language as it existed at the time of the Neo4j 5.26 LTS release (unless a query is prepended with `CYPHER 25`, which overrides this default). | ||
| Any changes introduced after 5.26 will not affect the semantics of the query. | ||
| Selecting `CYPHER 5` as the default database language ensures that every query run on that database uses the language as it existed at the time of the Neo4j **TBC** release (unless a query is prepended with `CYPHER 25`, which overrides this default). |

this bit seems more odd when considering CYPHER 5 is the default, it feels more like it's pointing out a difference to the default (probably due to being added to do just that before :P)
