Some of the first Google search pages of managing data lead to these pages, which don't really explain how it works. Wholistically, might it be worth an entire page explaining the incredibly useful operations in use by many community projects including our own?

Hey there, @JFWooten4!!

Thanks as always for the contribution! I think it would certainly be a useful/interesting document describing some of the uses that the ecosystem has found for manageData entries. Though, it could certainly be a looooong list hehe.

I thought we had "somewhere" that mentioned like the way applications could make use of "domain-specific" data entries, but i can't seem to find it now... 🤔

In any case, the changes you make here look generally good to me. I think the relative links you've place on the getLedgerEntries.mdx page (which is a good change!) might be one ../ short, but it's hard to tell.

also, i'm not really sure what you mean by "first google searches." can you elaborate a little bit?

I just want a clear explanation to show up when someone looks up the `ManageData` function of Stellar. It's not exactly something to write a whole Medium article on. More generally, it has technical nuances which could be updated over time, lending itself to a community documentation page like this. Relevantly, I've found that the `#` hash page entries on list-of-operations don't show up well in SEO. While they make a great reference for cross-linking the guides (and generally I've sincerely appreciated a single place to learn all the functionality over the years), standalone references help simplify new discoverability!

This completes my reference implementation, and a next step post-merge can be linking into LE specification at \docs\data\apis\rpc\api-reference\methods\getLedgerEntries.mdx.

Really great work there from Bri, and I love the use of a draft PR when scope expands based on collaboration from Jane!
