The only mention of the RangeIndex is on http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/whatsnew.html#range-index as of Pandas 0.18.1, should this also be mentioned within the API.

where else do you think it needs to go specifically?

RangeIndex does not appear on the API docs: http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/api.html

On the other hand, neither does Int64Index, Float64Index or PeriodIndex.

I think a short section listing indexing types in the API docs would be valuable.

this is a dupe of master issue #11962

@AnkurDedania welcome PR's to solve pieces of that issue. (partially mentioned here)
