What do you mean my "screw up"? Meaning the wiki help which might
describe the details of an IDE dialog (what I refer to as application
help) doesn't exist any more?  I can't say I have ever heard of a case
where this has happened.

No, I'm looking at one, very specific, case. The Lazarus IDE includes an HTML file- I've already said which one several times. That is unarguably part of the IDE, it is not part of the Wiki which is in effect a separate project.

If somebody changes the headings in the Wiki page referred to by this one file, it effectively breaks the IDE. Now I know that some people will argue that point, but if a prospective user or- $deity help us- a journalist can't get to help information we all know who carries the can: it's seen as a shortcoming of the IDE, even if the change was elsewhere.
