It says:
@item Y @r{(Upper-case)}
to replace all remaining occurrences in all remaining buffers in
multi-buffer replacements (like the Dired `Q' command which performs
query replace on selected files). It answers this question and all
subsequent questions in the series with "yes", without further
user interaction.

@xref{Operating on Files}, for the Dired @kbd{Q} command which
performs query replace on selected files. See also @ref{Transforming
File Names}, for Dired commands to rename, copy, or link files by
replacing regexp matches in file names.
Seems to be fixed. Closing.
