Apparently the documentation maintenance was behind removal in the social-core, this fixes it.

P2 Badge Update PixelPin settings for the OIDC backend

When this guide switches to PixelPinOpenIDConnect, the backend name changes to pixelpin-openidconnect, so social-auth derives the callback path and credential settings from that name. The preceding instructions still tell users to register /complete/pixelpin-oauth2/ and set SOCIAL_AUTH_PIXELPIN_OAUTH2_KEY/SECRET, which this backend will not read; anyone following the updated guide will end up with missing credentials or a mismatched redirect URI.

to use the OpenStreetMap OAuth2 backend with OpenHistoricalMap::

SOCIAL_AUTH_OPENSTREETMAP_AUTHORIZATION_URL = 'https://www.openhistoricalmap.org/oauth/authorize'
SOCIAL_AUTH_OPENSTREETMAP_ACCESS_TOKEN_URL = 'https://www.openhistoricalmap.org/oauth/access_token'
SOCIAL_AUTH_OPENSTREETMAP_OAUTH2_AUTHORIZATION_URL = 'https://www.openhistoricalmap.org/oauth2/authorize'
SOCIAL_AUTH_OPENSTREETMAP_OAUTH2_ACCESS_TOKEN_URL = 'https://www.openhistoricalmap.org/oauth2/token'

P2 Badge Avoid claiming OpenHistoricalMap works with only OAuth URLs

For OpenStreetMap custom deployments like OpenHistoricalMap, overriding only these authorization and token URLs is not enough: OpenStreetMapOAuth2.user_data() still fetches profile data from the hard-coded https://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/user/details.json. A user following this example would obtain an OpenHistoricalMap token and then send it to the OpenStreetMap API during login, so the documented setup fails unless the user-data/API URL is also made configurable or the example is removed.

To get an OAuth2 refresh token along with the access token, you must pass an extra argument: ``access_type=offline``.

P2 Badge Restore docs for the still-shipped Google+ backend

This replacement is part of removing the Google+ Sign-In section as if that backend disappeared, but social_core.backends.google.GooglePlusAuth is still shipped with provider name google-plus. Users of that backend now lose the only docs for SOCIAL_AUTH_GOOGLE_PLUS_* settings and the /complete/google-plus client-side flow while the code remains available; restore or explicitly deprecate the section instead of dropping it as removed.
