Where to ask questions about NetLogo's documentation

With NetLogo 7, I picked up this forum.
I am not new to NetLogo, and I am not new to software development, but I am new to this forum.

Now I have some questions about documentation of NetLogo, e.g. the user manual and dictionary.
What is an appropriate category for such questions?
They are not particularly Feature Requests – though they might turn into them.
Until I know more, I would not categorize them as Bug Reports.
And they are too specific for New to NetLogo.

If you think we’ve made an error in the documentation, feel free to post your report on “Bug Reports”. If you want clarification on something that we’ve written, I think “Q&A” makes sense. Other than that, documentation stuff could probably go in “Miscellaneous”.

Regardless, it’s not hugely important where you put the thread. If we feel that the location was not right for what you posted, we can move it elsewhere, and you won’t get in trouble for it or anything.

Thank you for your answer. And thank you for reassuring that I won’t get in trouble…
Now you mention it, I have seen that messages were occasionally moved to another category.

Yesterday, I noticed that users can create their own tags.

So, I have created the tag docswith a new topic I posted now.
Should there be separate tags for documentation in help files and online documentation?

It seems that I cannot add tags to existing topics. Otherwise, I would add the new tag(s) to previous posts (including this topic).

Just one tag is fine. For the NetLogo desktop application, both of them get edited in the same place, anyway.
