Misleading "Getting started with release" message

Summary

Any repository's Project -> Releases without any releases describes in a "Getting started with releases" message that they can only be created through the GitLab API, but at my repository's Repository -> Tags -> New tag allows me to create a release and drag and drop files to be attached to the release etc.

Steps to reproduce

On GitLab version 12.2.5-ee (e817f2e2), create an empty repo and visit Project -> Releases, then go to Repository -> Tags -> New tag.

What is the expected correct behavior?

My colleague and I both assumed from the description text on Project -> Release that we required to learn how to do this programmatically. Later we were happy to learn that we could do it through the GitLab web UI under Repository -> Tags -> New tag or the tag associated Edit release notes button.
