Description (last modified by )
As the wiki grows more and more dialogs are explained in details and warnings are explained. Some wiki pages did grow in size. This means there is room for adding more context-sensitive help. As I always forget to open tickets about specific dialogs and actions I start to summarize here:
Help button + F1
- Upload Dialog should be changed to Help/Action/Upload#UploadDialog
- Combine Confirmation Dialogs Help/Action/CombineWay#CombineConfirmation
- Tags/Memberships Conflict Dialog Help/Action/CombineWay#TagsMembershipsConflictDialog
- Parent tab in relation editor Help/Dialog/RelationEditor#ParentRelations
- Child tab in relation editor Help/Dialog/RelationEditor#ChildRelations
F1
- mostly all toggle dialog buttons except Tags/Memberships ones
- all tabs and its buttons in Preference Dialog
- Upload Changes Button of Upload Dialog, probably Help/Action/Upload#UploadData
- upper part of Tags/Memberships Conflict Dialog Help/Action/CombineWay#TagsConflictDialog
- lower part of Tags/Memberships Conflict Dialog Help/Action/CombineWay#MembershipsConflictDialog
- upper part of Relation Editor Help/Dialog/RelationEditor#TagsRelation
- members list of Relation Editor Help/Dialog/RelationEditor#MembersList
- selection list of Relation Editor Help/Dialog/RelationEditor#SelectionList
- all Buttons of the Relation Editor should at least link to Help/Dialog/RelationEditor
- all Buttons of the Changeset Manger should at least link to Help/Dialog/ChangesetManager
Query Button (top left) of Changeset Manger Help/Dialog/ChangesetQuery
more to come

Replying to skyper:
Bigger pages increase the risk that they grow out of topic.
Small pages with only one topic have the benefit that they do not need a table of content, for example.
The secondary dialog may arise on Help/Action/MergeNodes, Help/Action/CombineWay and Help/Action/JoinAreas. Context sensitivity is better when this dialog has an own help topic too. Currently it is part of another help page. Jumping there from the other two possible entry dialog pages is technically possible. But makes this sense when you can have an individual page for this dialog?
