Research direction
Open the Python RQ integration page and locate the Configure section's rq worker startup command. Remove the --sentry-dsn line, keep the existing mysettings.py initialization guidance, and verify the page no longer instructs users to use the defunct flag.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
The RQ integration page references --sentry-dsn as an rq worker CLI flag, but RQ has fully removed this option. The comment on the page says "only necessary for RQ < 1.0" but the flag no longer exists at all in any current RQ release — the official RQ worker docs list no such argument.
This creates a confusing loop: RQ's own documentation points users to the Sentry docs page for integration guidance, but the Sentry page instructs them to pass a flag that doesn't exist.
Fix: Remove the --sentry-dsn line from the rq worker startup command in the Configure section. Initializing the SDK via mysettings.py (which the page already covers) is the correct and complete approach.
