The doc for Randomize Transform should join the other common Deformations in Mesh Edit.

from:

http://www.blender.org/manual/modeling/objects/randomize_transform.html

to:

http://www.blender.org/manual/modeling/meshes/editing/deforming

Perhaps add a Deformation Transforms page to Objects that links to the common Deformation details.

The 'Randomize Transform' feature is used to randomly position/rotate/scale objects themselves - it's not the same as the 'Randomize' feature which is used to randomly position vertices in a mesh (though this is not documented at all it seems, so maybe create a new task for this).

'Deformation' always refers to changing vertex positions, not entire objects.

I understand. But Bend, ToSphere, Shear, et.all are Mesh Transform Deformations that apply also objects positions.

we have Bend,ToSphere, Shear etc documented in Mesh, but missing from Objects
we have Randomize documented in Objects, but missing from Mesh

Note that many of the above deformations also apply to grease pencil strokes, and of course curves etc.

I am not sure how this all should be handled.
