The getting started section seems to contain all sorts of not-necessarily-related info (such as conventions used in the manual and 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:
| From | To | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| basics/startup_file.rst | preferences/startup_file.rst | While not part of the user preference editor, it is a large part of configuring and customizing blender. |
| basics/help.rst | troubleshooting/general_help.rst | |
| basics/undo_and_redo.rst | troubleshooting/recovering.rst | |
| basics/quick_render.rst | render/opengl.rst | This page contains a lot of general render info not directly relevant to opengl rendering. Perhaps this should be moved to other rendering pages (or just removed). |
| basics/interface | /interface | Perhaps this could be moved to it's own root-level chapter, or combined with the editors chapter. (e.g. move editors into interface) |
| basics/screencasts.rst | /interface/screencast.rst | This could go inside of the interface directory, wherever it ends up (see above). If there are more "UI tool" pages like this one, perhaps a tools subdirectory could work (/interface/tools/screencasts.rst). |
| basics/screenshots.rst | /interface/screenshot.rst | Same as above. |
| basics/navigating | /editors/3dview/navigate | This section mainly deals with the 3D view. More generic navigation docs will go here instead, see T43668 |
| basics/transformations | /editors/3dview/transform | Most of this section appears to deal the the 3D view specifically. Perhaps generic parts could be split into /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 | Since this page describes conventions used in the manual more from a user perspective (not a contributer perspective), maybe it could be integrated into the glossary or something? |
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)
