Dynamic Parameters and Positional parameters do not work as expected
Problem description and example: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45021674/how-do-you-specify-both-static-and-dynamic-positional-parameters-in-powershell
1) It is not clear that the position attribute is relative to other parameters of the same type, and that static parameters always come before dynamic parameters.
2) If you run get-help (full) on the function described in the link it will show the literal position assignment, not their position as PowerShell expects them (i.e. the static parameter is listed as position 3, when it is actually position 0)
3) Tabbing through the options list (using ISE or PowerShell) behaves according to the literal position assignment, not their position as PowerShell expects them (i.e. if…5 votes -
Duplicate help files in PSWorkflow module break Get-Help
At some point in the 5.0 time period, Update-Help installed About topic files in the en-US directory for the PSWorkflow module with .txt (not .help.txt) file name extensions.
e.g. about_Foreach-Parallel.txt
Later, this was fixed and Update-Help installed the same help files in the same directory with the (correct) ".help.txt" file name extension.
e.g. about_Foreach-Parallel.help.txt
Now, the PSWorkflow\en-US directory has 9 pairs of files that are identical except for the file name extension.

Add PowerShell tab and examples to .NET reference pages in MSDN

Contact Information
Handle: June Blender
Site Name: PowerShell
Feedback ID: 1351032
Problem Description:
PowerShell users often read .NET reference pages in MSDN. It's all but required, because Get-Help doesn't describe object members. However, in the Examples section of .NET reference pages, there are no PowerShell examples; not even a PowerShell tab.MSDN says they cannot demonstrate a demand for PowerShell examples. I'd like to use this feature request to demonstrate the demand.

Comment-Based Help: Allow multi-line examples

Contact Information
Handle: Aaron Jensen
Site Name: PowerShell
Feedback ID: 952833
Frequency: Always Happens
Regression: Yes, this happens in all previous versionsProblem Description:
Currently, when using comment-based help, you're limited to one line of code for an example. This is extremely limiting, especially when trying to document DSC resources, since they span multiple lines by default. Also, some examples would be more useful with some extra lines. The current alternative is to use XML-based help, but the MAML schema is extremely verbose and complicated.What I'd like to…

geef mijn NAS terug
Waarom haalt u een functie uit mijn OS, zonder mij een keuze te laten of is dat wel wil. Ik kan nu mijn NAS niet meer gebruiken, zonder dat ik een verschrikkelijk moeilijk verhaal moet lezen en dat ik mijn leverancier (die al niet meer bestaat) moet benaderen om iets te veranderen. Ik kan geen contact meer maken met mijn backup systeem om files op te halen, zonder dat ik nu een verschrikkelijk dure specialist ga inguren. Dank u wel microsoft. \geen wonder dat iedeeen over wil naar linux of OSx.

Online HELP no longer has any valid links.
Recently the new "docs"" site was implemented on MS. The old TechNet and MSDN PowerSHell help documentation is now buried and hard to access. The new help is no longer linked to any help for an CmdLet. We get "404" for all attempts.
Also the new doc style is very pretty but not very useful. Same for the new Net class browser. On both the documentation is incomplete and has many errors compared to the original documentation.
Please address this as using the documentation has become a nightmare. MS needs to go back to managing this directly and try and…

fix help get-smbconnection -online
It references http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=24194 which does a redirect to http://technet.microsoft.comlibrary/jj635713(v=wps.620).aspx which is missing the clash between com and library.
