What specific section or headline is this issue about?

No response

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

The fetchLater() function is part of the Fetch API: it's defined in the Fetch spec. But in MDN it's documented as its own standalone fetchLater() API, and not even linked from the Fetch API docs.

This is bad for discoverability and coherence.

What did you expect to see?

fetchLater() and associated interfaces documented as part of the Fetch API.

The page at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/fetchLater_API should be split up, with "concepts and usage" probably made into a separate guide page under https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API, and the interfaces and HTTP headers listed inside https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API.

The groupdata entry should be removed and its contents included in the entry for Fetch.
