Problem/Motivation

See Ability to display block_content entities independently, also outside of Blocks Postponed: needs info .

Custom blocks (block_content entities) are not designed to be displayed outside of blocks. But as a developer, you would never be able to figure this out.

Proposed resolution

Document it, so that developers in the future can at least find it it in the most logical place in the code. So that they don't need to search the internet and hope to end up at https://www.drupal.org/node/2704331 .
