Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.In previous versions of Drupal, the Form Builder Functions topic in api.drupal.org gave a handy list of form builder functions.
In Drupal 8, we pretty much don't have these any more, so
https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/core!includes!form.inc/group/forms/8
is pretty much empty.
So, we should remove this topic and all references to it.
To find the documentation that defines it, and the references to it, look for any of the following in Drupal 8 code:
@defgroup forms
@ingroup forms
@addtogroup forms
@link forms
@see forms
The entire doc block with the @defgroup in it should be removed. The other references should just be removed from their doc blocks.

joachim CreditAttribution: joachim commentedWe do still have form builders in Drupal though -- they're just classes now, right?
That said, I have always wondered what the point was of having a topic that listed all of Drupal's forms.

cs_shadow CreditAttribution: cs_shadow commented@joachim, Yes. Form builders are classes in D8. This is the FormBuilder class: \Drupal\Core\Form\FormBuilder (https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/core%21lib%21Drupal%21Core%21Form%21Fo...)

jhodgdonLooks good, thanks! And yes, the point of this issue is that the topic is not needed. You can look at the class hierarchic of FormBuilder to discover form classes instead.
