It says: @item Y @r{(Upper-case)} to replace all remaining occurrences in all remaining buffers in multi-buffer replacements (like the Dired `Q' command which performs query replace on selected files). It answers this question and all subsequent questions in the series with "yes", without further user interaction. --- I fail to see how that could be misinterpreted. > Move the link pointing to `Operating on Files' to the paragraph where > `Q' is mentioned.

See also @ref{Transforming File Names}, for Dired commands to rename, copy, or link files by replacing regexp matches in file names. Seems to be fixed.
