I thought of this a long time ago. I am really in favor of this. If there is a concern with increased traffic, maybe a local copy of the wiki can be downloaded and updated, but that sounds like a solution that may be harder to implemt than the feature is worse. +1 on this!

Sounds good but is the many to one mapping really required or wanted? It sounds like more work than necessary, and would result in ongoing maintenance. Instead just have a separate page for each operator based on their identifiers. For those that are part of some larger group, we can just add

Id be concerned that a lot of api things that are wiki-able are used all over the place, not just in a few operators. Are we talking about clicking on buttons only, or also settings and values used in operators? If you click for help on a slider that does something in a modifier, but the same kind

@Harley - The many to one relationship was actually Campbell's idea, but I agree with it. As a user, the user experience would not be very good to click on 'view user docs' and get some info that is not very relevant to what you were looking for and then have to click another link. We really

Sean, I don't necessarily disagree with you at all. The way you are proposing things might be ideal I just find that when you start any job of grouping a large number of things you inevitably find all sorts of funny exceptions. Items that need to belong to more than one group. Or you just

we don't want one doc for bpy.ops.texture.slot_move, better glob bpy.ops.texture.slot_*, or bpy.ops.texture.* and then link to a page explaining about blender texture system. I'd say we do. And I'd say that trying to figure out whether to use bpy.ops.texture.slot_*, or bpy.ops.texture.*

Hi All, Occasionally I try and step back from Blender and attempt to see it the way a brand new user would. I recently did this and saw a glaring problem. The 'View Docs' on Right click does not help Users. Currently in Blender if you right click on 'almost' any button you will get a menu like
