I looked at it again - there are effectively two solutions I could think of:

1) on raster.html, the list of raster commands could be split into two lists, one "respecting
region and MASK", one "not respecting region and MASK" (or similar).

2) on the respective site of the module (e.g. r.mapcalc.html), under DESCRIPTION,

add a standard sentence as a last paragraph :

"This module *respects* the region settings and the MASK"
or
"This module *does not respect* the region settings and the MASK"

In addition, it should actually also be added to the output of the --help of the modules...

Interesting read - clarified a few things for me.

Cheers,
