What specific section or headline is this issue about?

Index of media container formats (file types)

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

Under the table, OGG and WebMedia part,

Edge requires Web Media Extensions to be installed.

What did you expect to see?

(Chromium-based) Edge don't rely on web media extensions anymore, this should be removed or changed to more accurate information.

Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?

const testEle = document.createElement("audio");
console.log(testEle.canPlayType("audio/ogg; codecs=vorbis")); // 'probably'

Do you have anything more you want to share?

Edge probably doesn't need the Web Media Extensions anymore since migrating to Chromium.

@queengooborg Have we considered adding support for specific audio/image/video formats to BCD, to replace this table?

Migrating that table has been something I've wanted to do for a long time, but I haven't been able to figure out a good place to put it. My thought is perhaps the HTMLMediaElement API?

My thought is perhaps the HTMLMediaElement API?

Would it be an option to have a new general top-level and put it inside in general.media.audio/image/video?

This avoids these from showing up on the HTMLMediaElement table.

An alternative prefix could be common, since especially the image formats apply both to CSS and HTML.
