You're being part of the problem (one of the myths that was covered). Rather than say that jQuery will just create confusion or that it's a waste of time, present some clear, SIMPLE alternatives.

For total newcomers:
developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web
developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/L... (guided tour)

For those that already use jQuery and want to get rid of it:
youmightnotneedjquery.com/
vanilla-js.com/

A repository of technologies available to webs goes against the grain of this article, and again echoes one of the myths. If you're going to suggest that jQuery is a waste of time, then offer a specific alternative to jQuery (with reasons), otherwise you are just adding to the clutter.
