Assign me to the select menu please :-)

Can we make it visible in the documentation which elements are already documented? For example show only the little description unter documented elements or add a little check mark after the widget name? (I'm speaking abount this list: https://docs.contao.org/dev/reference/widgets/)
Forget about it 🤦 (I just oversaw the undocumented suffix)

[fritzmg]

Just make a PR with a suggestion ;). e.g. use an emoji in the title. Though as this will show up in the title and the menu, I would only do it for the not yet documented widgets.

[bezin]

On a closer look I have some second thoughts about documenting all of these 😅 Some of these are so special, I doubt you will ever use these in one of your DCAs, e.g. Margins widget (trbl), Module wizard, Section wizard, ...

Some other are deprecated already, e.g. File Selector wizard, Text Store wizard. We should certainly not waste time on documenting these.

[fritzmg]

Agreed. However I think the module wizard is still useful for when you create custom elements/modules where you can select one or more other modules.

BTW: The color picker is missing in the list

There is no color picker widget, only an eval setting that makes a text widget a color picker.
