The docker image rm docs are not documenting that the command can be used to remove redundant tags #7489

File: engine/reference/commandline/image_rm.md

In search for a way to remove/delete a docker tag I learned that docker rmi a.k.a docker image rm can be used for that.

Whereas the docker rmi documentation tries to make this clear ...

If an image has one or more tags referencing it, you must remove all of them before the image is removed

... the docker image rm documentation is missing this piece of information.

Note: the actual stack overflow answer that helped me was a different one but I am not able to find it now.
