It would be helpful if right on the top of this page there would be a section "how to create a new favorite". 

Favorites are described in great detail, but how to create one is very far down in this page.

I've had a look. The creation and usage is explained for each of the favorite types, with the list of available favorite types right at the top.

For example, when you click Category Favorites at the top, the page scrolls to the Category Favorites section. The first paragraph in that section explains how to create a category favorite.
The same schema is used for any of the eight available favorite types.

I'm not sure that splitting "how to create a favorite of type x" and "how to use a favorite of type x" should be separated by moving the "how to create a favorite of type x" more to the top.

Or that I could create a concise "how to create a favorite of type x" section stand-alone at the top.

O make me understand: which type of favorite did you want to create when you thought this page needs improvement?

You are right concerning Category Favorites. But have a look at the Event favorites section. Event Favorites

It describes what you can achieve with them, but not how to create one.

It would be helpfull to include a line/note at the top the overview section that the way to create a favorite is described in the respective section. Something like: "... or bookmarks in your web browser. How to create a specific favorite is described at the top of the respective section below"

And for consistency purposes, I would suggest to include at the top of each favorite section a headline: "how to create this favorite".

Ah, I see.
I have added (IMatch 2025 help) a paragraph explaining that to create an Event Favorite, you just have to drag the event from the Event View into the Favorite Panel. I did this for Person favorites, but not for Event Favorites. Basically, it's the same as for categories and folders.
