I don't know. We may have to create one.

> I think the question mark (?) + line saying when guard nodes change like
gk mentioned is better than a Learn More page. Reality is most people who
ask why guard nodes IP addresses do not change are not going to click an
extra link to learn more (thus not solving the issue). The ? directly next
to the Guard Node is simple, easy to understand and conveys the reason.

I don't know if many people will click "Learn More"; you may be right that
most will not.
A short text message that shows up when hovering over a (?) icon seems OK,
but it does not seem worthwhile to send people to a new page just for a
short message. And that means we should show some text as an "on hover"
message, but I am not sure if we can do on top of the menu popup that is
already open.
