+Starting with Julia 1.6, the artifacts support has moved from `Pkg.jl` to Julia itself.
+Until proper documentation can be added here, you can learn more about artifacts in the
+`Pkg.jl` manual at <https://julialang.github.io/Pkg.jl/v1/artifacts/>.
+
+!!! compat "Julia 1.6"
+    Julia's artifacts API requires at least Julia 1.6. In Julia
+    versions 1.3 to 1.5, you can use `Pkg.Artifacts` instead.
