Polyhedron in documentation

I just discovered that the section about Polyhedron seems to have
disappeared from the OpenSCAD user manual's language reference. That is,
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/Primitive_Solids#Polyhedron()_Object_Module
no longer exists.

When I look at the wikibooks page history of the page that used to hold
the polyhedron information, I see a note that the information has been
removed because the information is available in a "3D modelling page".
It seems there was a glitch in the editing process: I don't see any link
to a "3D modelling page" and the table of contents continues to steer
readers to the now-missing section (now it's a dead link.)

So, please can someone tell me how to find this 3D modelling page.

I have to say, though, that I feel that Polyhedron belongs in the
Primitive_Solids section of the language reference. Isn't that what it is?

  • 1 from here. It certainly seems to me that is the right place. And I
    am in fact using that function.
