Old link goes to:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/npx
... which is a bit cryptic. Following the link to GitHub goes to:
https://github.com/npm/npx
... which shows:

This repository has been archived by the owner. It is now read-only.

... up top. Scrolling down reveals:

⚠️ DEPRECATED: This project has been deprecated - npx is now part of the npm cli

... that leads to:
https://github.com/npm/cli
The sidebar gives the link to:
https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/
... and then you just have to search for "npx" (or drill down into "CLI Commands"), and then finally, you get to:
https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v8/commands/npx

npm is currently on v9, remove the /v8 to keep the link evergreen against npm versions.
