            Bug ID: 131382
           Summary: The scope of function definitions (Calc or BASIC) is
                    unclear
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: mikekaganski at hotmail.com

Compare two help sections for WeekDay:

https://bit.ly/2vpJuTG
https://bit.ly/3d42lVp

(both lead to subpages of https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/), and try
to tell which is about Calc function, and which about BASIC function.

The problem is, there's no clear marking that this is WEEKDAY *spreadsheet*
function vs WeekDay BASIC function.

There are a number of coinciding function names between the two modules; and I
suppose that all functions, even without counterparts, should be somehow made
unambiguous (e.g., to not create an impression that it might be used in a
module it doesn't belong to).

In fact, that creates actual confusion in users: see e.g.
https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/233750/.
