The bug
Many commands which used to work with players only were changed to now work with all entities, however their help strings and feedback still uses the world "player".

Notes
The error message "You must specify which player you wish to perform this action on." (commands.generic.player.unspecified) which appears for example when you use only /kill without an entity argument in the command block does not fit always either.
Some commands like /effect or /enchant only work with entities being a subclass of EntityLivingBase. Therefor something like "mob" might fit better for those commands.
The selector @r now works with entities if you provide the type argument. Therefor the help text "Use "@r" to target random player" (advMode.randomPlayer) in the command block GUI is not correct anymore. Changing it to "entity" might however be misleading as well because the selector without the type argument will only pick random players.
As suggested the help for /kill should not use the pipe character to not cause confusion because for example /replaceitem <block|entity> acts differently when you provide "block" compared to when you provide "entity" as argument value.
