Short description of error
[Please fill out a short description of the error here]

This page could benefit from a short paragraph describing Properties > Bone > [x] Deform checkbox.

Users should inspect and set the Properties > Bone > [x] Deform checkbox appropriately: to ensure that bones they intend to be either Deform xor Control bones are configured as such.

When Parent with Automatic Weights to parent a mesh to an armature:

if [x] Deform is checked, this bone will generate a weight vertex group,
if [ ] Deform is NOT checked, this bone will not generate a weight vertex group.

If the user configures this backwards, what they think is a deform bone will not deform the mesh, or what they think is a control bone may cause unwanted mesh deformations during its transforms.
