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.
