Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
The [getting started ]] section seems to contain all sorts of not-necessarily-related info (such as http:*blender.org/manual/getting_started/about_blender/about_this_manual.html and [ http://blender.org/manual/getting_started/basics/quick_render.html | documentation on openGL rendering ).
This seems a little inconsistent with the rest of the manual, which is split into sections based on how blender is organized, rather than difficulty or "what should be learned first".
Since this manual is intended as more of a reference manual (rather than a tutorial or teaching course), I propose a re-organization of this section as follows:
basics/startup_file.rst
preferences/startup_file.rst
basics/help.rst
troubleshooting/general_help.rst
basics/undo_and_redo.rst
troubleshooting/recovering.rst
basics/quick_render.rst
render/opengl.rst
basics/interface
/interface
editors
chapter. (e.g. moveeditors
intointerface
)basics/screencasts.rst
/interface/screencast.rst
interface
directory, wherever it ends up (see above). If there are more "UI tool" pages like this one, perhaps atools
subdirectory could work (/interface/tools/screencasts.rst
).basics/screenshots.rst
/interface/screenshot.rst
basics/navigating
/editors/3dview/navigate
basics/transformations
/editors/3dview/transform
/interface/transform
, but probably simpler to just ensure that it's mentioned where transforms work in other editors too.about_blender/about_this_manual.rst
/glossary/conventions.rst
Perhaps
/getting_started/index.rst
can be turned into a sort of "how to use this manual" introduction page, and include a few potential "where to go first" links (e.g.installing_blender
)Changed status to: 'Open'

Agree that
basics/
is overloaded and needs reorganization.Generally your proposel looks good.
about_blender
andinstalling_blender
where they are now, think its not necessarily in the best place currently... but rather not add too many root-level sections.basics/navigating
to/interface/navigating
, this is currently docs for the 3d-viewport. So it could be moved into/editors/3dview/navigation
?All other changes seem fine.
Note, we have a tool to move paths around, see:
tools/rst_remap.py
, this avoids having to do a lot of manual edits.@ideasman42 Sounds good!
Re
basics/navigating
, not exactly sure what the idea with this section is yet (see #43668#332493).@gandalf3, AFAICS the existing content belongs in
/editors/3dview/navigation
, and dont see any issues with moving it there.We could add some navigation basics doc later.
