Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/17/ddl-partitioning.html
Description:

In the paragraph:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/ddl-partitioning.html#DDL-PARTITIONING-DECLARATIVE-MAINTENANCE,
sentence "Another option that is often preferable is to remove the partition
from the partitioned table but retain access to it as a table in its own
right." there is missing "not" word. Correct form of this sentence should
be: Another option that is often preferable is to not remove the partition
from the partitioned table but retain access to it as a table in its own
right.

The existing wording is correct.  The fact it immediately precedes a detach partition command example should make this abundantly clear.  Though adding “not” as you’ve done doesn’t make any sense regardless - it is a self-contradiction to both be a partition and independent (on its own right).
