Description Yuri Chornoivan 2018-06-18 20:13:32 UTC 
In the distributions with installable documentation (like Mageia), it is not possible to reach it from the Application Menu.

All installed desktop files with "Categories=Documentation;" are not displayed in the menu unlike the other DEs (Xfce). It can be because of the lack of "kf5-documentation.directory" file in the /menu/desktop of plasma-workspace repo.

Is it possible to add this file with the following content:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Directory
Icon=help-browser
Name=Documentation

Thanks in advance for your help in fixing this.

Burkhard, can you look into this? I don't know what installs this (it's not Kicker).

It's "plasma-workspace" package in RPM-based and deb-based distributions.

I have fixed the Summary and component to make it clearer.

The problem can be solved on the distribution level:
