Thank you for reporting. You found a documentation bug.
Could you check, if the changes in [r9112] help to avoid the confusion?

Docutils uses the term "admonition" in the sense of "safety message" or "hazard statement", not as reprimand or rebuke. (The German translation in parsers/rst/languages/de.py got this wrong.
A possible German translation may be "Warnhinweis" but the overlap of the semantics of the specific admonitions makes translation very tricky.)

I quite probably miss something obvious but [admonition directives documentation](https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/ref/rst/directives.html#admonitions) is not clear in so far as it lists "admonition" as a specific admonition type then describes it as being a generic type (which requires a title).
