I may be wrong, but I believe that the documentation is community, but separately, you should send corrections to the documentation as advised in:

https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/contributing/documentation/contributing_to_the_documentation.html

I may be wrong, but I believe that the documentation is community, but separately, you should send corrections to the documentation as advised in:

This is true, but the contents of the class reference are actually generated from this repository. So it's appropriate to report it here.

I can keep this in mind for https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/87334

Edit: No wait. You are not specifying where this is being stated: If it's part of the documentation outside of the class reference, this should be reported in https://github.com/godotengine/godot-docs

I found the "offending" paragraph https://github.com/godotengine/godot-docs/blob/62d5d6cddbb2768976abea1cd3420b36ca492003/tutorials/3d/introduction_to_3d.rst#L35 as part of the introduction to 3D. Yes, this issue should be moved to the other repository.

Note it's not just the 4×3 part being wrong, the rest of the sentence and the image are outdated (edit: it's not the only image on that page which is outdated; probably the whole page needs rechecking/updating).

It was changed in the meantime how Transform3D is exposed:

Shouldn't this be closed now that #9174 is merged?

Yes.

Kleonc's comment is still outstanding, but I think this bug report can be closed as overhauling the 3D docs is a bit out of scope for this and is better tracked elsewhere (i.e. in the docs repo)
