Function Input Processing Methods > Write Methods
The "Write Methods" section needs to be reviewed.
None of them have a '-' after the verb. "WriteCommandDetail" does not appear to exist.

Re: Function Input Processing Methods > Write Methods
That is intentional, those are Methods not cmdlets.
This is a confusing area because most of them do have matching cmdlets, e.g. you can call the write-error cmdlet or use the WriteError method.
In most cases the method does exactly the same thing as the cmdlet, the reason they exist is largely for performance - if you are dealing with a very large object or passing a large number of items through the pipeline then you may find one way is significantly faster than the other.

Re: Function Input Processing Methods > Write Methods
Oh no need to apologise we are all still learning.
Im thinking I should add a page saying something about Methods vs cmdlets.
