0.971: sphinx warnings reference target not found

[kloczek]

On building my packages I'm using sphinx-build command with -n switch which shows warmings about missing references. These are not critical issues.
Here is the output with warnings:

I would be happy to review a PR to make mypy's docs build pass with -n but I don't think we build with it by default.

Without fixed those warning sphinx cannot add on documentation symbols links and instead higlits those prases.
