List areas of the Biki that are in need of attention.

Alternative Syntaxes for dialog commands

A lot of dialog commands (e.g. ctrlSetText vs. ctrlSetText control, and lbDelete vs. lbDelete index) have separate pages for alternative syntaxes (which is probably a carry-over from the time the command template only allowed one syntax).
Could somebody merge these, so that there is only one article per command?
If you are unable to delete the obsolete version of the page, please replace the content with the {{Delete|merged variations}} flag, and a sysop will later to the "cleanup work".
