[Based on the default startup or an attached .blend file (as simple as possible)]

The description is very vague, but if I'm understanding your correctly you're referring to the manual? In that case it's being worked on and general discussions about it aren't suited for the bug tracker. If you spot a specific error or inconsistencies you can create a bug report tagged for the documentation project. For discussions it's better to either create a post on [DevTalk ]] or contact @Blendify on the [ https:*blender.chat/home | docs channel of Blender's chat .

If this bug report was supposed to be about broken functionality within Blender regarding the manual / documentation, then it doesn't contain enough information for use to investigate it. In that case submit a new report and carefully follow the submission template . Be sure to provide system information, Blender version, a concise and precise description of the issue, step by step instructions to reproduce it and a .blend file that demonstrates the problem.

Perhaps you are looking for https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Process/Bug_Reports

And perhaps this page should be linked to from the manual at some point?

no I'm talking about reporting errors in blender help. because the procedure of editing help is very heavy.
and they are a lot of things wrong (because to old). a lot in scripting part

We do not understand what "blender help" is. Do you mean the user manual? https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/
