So far, the arguments in favor of the "tip & trick" page have basically been "information is hard to find in the manual," which IMO suggests that we should improve the way how information can be looked up.
Another reason for my original complaint was that several of the previous examples have disappeared without being added to the manual. Even if we experienced users think it is obvious how to set a certain parameter, a small but complete example is often invaluable for a less experienced user. It doesn't matter how well we describe the general principles for doing these things. Finally, as Laura has pointed out on another thread, the Regression Test document is also an invaluable source of information that cannot (at least not easily) be found anywhere else in the documentation.
I certainly realize that Bret's idea was to provide a complement to the ordinary Index, but I'm afraid that a single such example will be far too messy. Maybe we could try to device a set of 5-10 such examples to get a reasonable compromise between complexity and overview.
