System Information
Operating system: Linux
Graphics card: NA

Blender Version
Broken: 2.82a, 2.83 7a809a7504de (2020-04-30 22:07), 2.90 4d790516fbf8 (2020-04-30 22:03)

Short description of error:
Throughout Blender's user interface there is a few places where the tooltip says "Undocumented operator". Here's a list of a few I've found in the outliner:
Right click on a collection or object and in the pop up, these operators are undocumented:

 Unlink
 All the options in the "ID Data" section.

I will try an keep an eye out for more of these to help polish 2.83 for the LTS release.

Also thank you everyone who has worked on the Blender project.

@lichtwerk D7591: Fix #76285: Missing 'Toggle X-Ray' operator description
I suggest merging the reports either way.

More undocumented operators:

ot->idname = "TEXT_OT_comment_toggle";

ot->idname = "SEQUENCER_OT_change_effect_input";
ot->idname = "SEQUENCER_OT_change_effect_type";
ot->idname = "SEQUENCER_OT_change_path";

ot->idname = "OBJECT_OT_unlink_data";

More undocumented operators: ``` ot->idname = "TEXT_OT_comment_toggle"; ot->idname = "SEQUENCER_OT_change_effect_input"; ot->idname = "SEQUENCER_OT_change_effect_type"; ot->idname = "SEQUENCER_OT_change_path"; ot->idname = "OBJECT_OT_unlink_data"; ```

These outliner operations currently do not do anything, assuming you are talking about https://docs.blender.org/api/master/bpy.ops.outliner.html#bpy.ops.outliner.data_operation

I would rather wait for these operators to actually get added which is part of this year's GSOC.

@Blendify Yeah, some of them don't do anything. But some of them do stuff. Like select, deselect, delete, rename, copy, paste, etc. These ones can probably be updated before the GSOC project is finished.

I'll leave the decision up to you on how to mark this report.

Video of issue as it seems somethings may of been mixed up (Notice how the tool tips for most of the actions I hover over have the tooltip "undocumented operator"):

@jenkm has also listed a few other buttons in the user interface where the tooltip is "Undocumented operator", these ones aren't related to the outliner.

This report was created more as a continuation of #76297 as by the time I discovered these, #76297 had already been confirmed and had a diff assigned to it. And I assumed it would be accepted very shortly after that happened.
