The documentation for the <input> element is incredibly messy. We need to present this information more cleanly.
The first step is to create one sub-page for each type named <input type="xyz"> with slug /en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/Input/Xyz.
The second step is to complete our documentations of these using the ddn that we have about these.
The third step is to clear the first page to lead to the subpages.

If anybody want to do this, I'm happy to help him/her. It is not very complicated but it is a significant amount of work (~40 hours).
You want to create individual page for type Password too?

Yes, we do. Do you want to do it? I'll create a bug for it straight away.

The <input type="password"> page[1] was obviously already created last year and was revised a few times in the meantime.
So I remove the needinfo flag for Sheppy.

Currently, the following subpages are still missing:

- <input type="date">
- <input type="datetime-local">
- <input type="email">
- <input type="file">
- <input type="hidden">
- <input type="month">
- <input type="number">
- <input type="radio">
- <input type="range">
- <input type="reset">
- <input type="search">
- <input type="submit">
- <input type="tel">
- <input type="text">
- <input type="time">
- <input type="url">
- <input type="week">

I've linked them from the main <input> page already.
