You are currently looking at documentation for Umbraco 8 and older versions.
An automated guess is that docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/implementation/default-routing/ could be the link to the new documentation for Umbraco 9 and newer versions.

    Routing

    Get an overview of how the Umbraco pipeline is structured. See what happens from user request to content delivery.

    User Request

    A front-end request is made...

    Request Pipeline

    Inbound request pipeline
    Matching a URL to a content item & determining the rendering engine (MVC or Webforms).
    Controller selection
    Match an MVC Controller and Action to handle the request.

    Execute request

    The MVC Action and View are executed. During this execution you can query for published data to be displayed/rendered.
    IPublishedContent
    IPublishedContent is the underlying model used in all Umbraco views.
    UmbracoHelper
    Use UmbracoHelper to query published media and content.
    Members
    This section covers the MembershipHelper.

    Content is delivered
