It does have a HOWTO wiki, which we call the FAQ.

I disabled adding new pages because it kept getting targeted by
spammers, but if you want to start a new page, (if you think one is
necessary), then just ask me to add it.

This is misinform[ed|ation]. When you click the Add button and you see
the dialogue saying "Selected Action already set. Please choose
Another Action from list." it is because the selected is already set.
If you were to use your method and try to replace the separator with
"Reply to mailing list" a 2nd time you would see that dialogue again.
You saw it the first time because whatever you had as the 'Event
executed on click' was already set, but 'Reply to mailing list' was
not.

So it's not so bizarre after all.
