Does the node (info "(emacs) Minibuffer History")[1] in the Emacs manual
count?  FWIW, it can be found through index entries such as 'minibuffer
history', 'M-n (minibuffer history)', 'DOWN (minibuffer history)', etc.

For more details on minibuffer keymaps there's also
(info "(emacs) Minibuffer Maps")[2], found e.g. via the index entry
'C-h r i minibuffer key TAB RET'.
