Plugin API/Admin Screen Reference

This page is highly incomplete.

Introduction

Some hooks require that the developer append a screen id to the hook name. The reasoning for this is that you often need to target specific admin screens with your hooks, and this allows you that necessary level of control.

Most admin screens have common-sense ids, but this documentation should prove useful to developers new to WordPress.
