I found this misleading entry in the latest Manual (2.68):

enter image description here

The '7' should be '11', but as there is no way to enter a key twice, it should be G.
The 'Edges' should be 'Delete' as there is no option to Delete Edge loop in Mesh > Edges, and the Erase menu is really called the Delete Menu.

so I set about trying to find a way to have it corrected.
I worked my way through the 'maze' in blender.org only to find dead ends and outdated information!

Can anyone point me in the right direction?.

  • I edited your question to try and make clearer why Edges, 7, and Erase are wrong. – gandalf3 Jul 21 '13 at 00:25
  • Corrected wiki doc, however I'm not convinced having these menu items as key-shortcuts in the manual is good. It means every time a menu item is moved/added the key shortcut changes too. We could just document the key for the menu and let the user find the number to press. – ideasman42 Jul 21 '13 at 02:27
  • @ideasman42, thanks for that. - I agree, it would be easier to get rid of the NumPad key shortcuts, as far as documentation is concerned. Oh, by the way, you missed the other two errors! :) – SteveW Jul 21 '13 at 02:34
  • While it's not overly conveniet, 11 translates as ALT-1. The numbers 11 to 19 use the ALT key. Ancient dinosaur knowledge. – Haunt_House Oct 08 '13 at 13:58

  • Yes, 'Edges' is in the Ctrl+E menu, but 'Delete Edge Loop' is not in 'Edges', and this is supposed to be about 'Delete Edge Loop'! Also, there is no such thing as an 'Erase' menu, it is called the 'Delete' menu. '7' refers to the seventh item in the menu which is 'Dissolve Edges', not 'Delete Edge Loop' (which is the eleventh item), and you're right, you can't have '11' (two key hits), so this needs to be re-worded not referring to a Numpad number. Thanks for the guide to editing the wiki. – SteveW Jul 20 '13 at 23:45
  • @SteveW you are quite right.. I completely missed that. :P – gandalf3 Jul 21 '13 at 00:09
  • Whew, I'm so glad we have come to an understanding on this. Thank you :) Could you please add to your answer - how to get to the log in page to edit the wiki? – SteveW Jul 21 '13 at 02:06
  • @SteveW all you have to do is click "Log in / create account" to get the login screen. updated answer. – gandalf3 Jul 21 '13 at 19:26
  • What I'm trying to find out is this: Where do I find this page that your screen shot shows? – SteveW Jul 21 '13 at 22:34
  • The point that I'm making is that your answer is incomplete. It's not obvious where this page is. :) – SteveW Jul 21 '13 at 23:31
  • @SteveW Any page on the wiki should have it in the upper right corner. – gandalf3 Jul 22 '13 at 19:36
  • Thank you. Honestly, it wasn't that obvious to me :) (it looks different on my computer), although I figured it out and have applied to be able to log in. Now your answer is complete and has a green tick! – SteveW Jul 22 '13 at 23:52
  • Np. thanks, and I'm glad you got it figured out. :) (and I see you fixed the wiki too ;) ) – gandalf3 Jul 23 '13 at 18:47
