The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/runtime-config-wal.html
Description:

This page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/runtime-config-wal.html
(And probably others in other versions) has – I believe – an error in the
description for "wal_writer_delay".

It says "woken up by an asynchronously committing transaction". I suspect
that should read "synchronously".

Uh, is this correction accurate? It seems so to me.

After flushing WAL the writer sleeps for the length of time given
by <varname>wal_writer_delay</varname>, unless woken up sooner
--> by an asynchronously committing transaction.
