That's a different page. The API reference should be a reference and include every available option. You can see that https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/docs/api.md is actually the same page as https://docs.ollama.com/api, just a newer version.

On the other hand, I can't find https://docs.ollama.com/capabilities/thinking under https://github.com/ollama/ollama/tree/main/docs.

This issue might be outdated. The docs describe the think parameters now at https://docs.ollama.com/api/generate and https://docs.ollama.com/api/chat
