intro(7) also reads "All device special  files  are  located  under  the /devices directory.", /dev/zero and /dev/null are indeed links to /devices/, while /dev/fd/ contents aren't.

It also could be used for special cases like fd.

fd manpage is describing special files in /dev and should live in section 7. While here, add links for stdin, stdout and stderr to fd.
