If it documents how some part of Wireshark works, it belongs in the User's
Guide. This documents how some part of Wireshark works, therefore....
(If people think some parts of the documentation of how Wireshark works should
be a Wiki, to allow user contribution, either
1) we should encourage them to submit changes through Gerrit rather
than through the Wiki
or
2) we should make the User's Guide a Wiki.
Scattering information on how Wireshark works over multiple places makes it
harder for people to find out how Wireshark works, as it means that people
first have to figure out how the Wireshark *documentation* works before they
can use it to figure out how *Wireshark* works.)
