What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?
As noted in #22492, Maximum access by forked repos really means Maximum access for pull requests from forked repos.
But, beyond that, https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/enabling-features-for-your-repository/managing-github-actions-settings-for-a-repository#enabling-workflows-for-forks-of-private-repositories says:
Available to private repositories only, you can configure these policy settings for organizations, or repositories.
...
Send write tokens to workflows from pull requests - Allows pull requests from forks to use a GITHUB_TOKEN with write permission.
Thus, the correct text would be Maximum access for pull requests to public repositories from forked repos.
I know that's a mouthful and too much to stick into a column heading, but the current text is fairly misleading and finding all the caveats is not fun.
