MultiIndex methods not listed in API reference

[Dr-Irv]

It would be really useful to have the documentation for the methods specific to MultiIndex such as .from_product() and .from_tuples() to be listed with links in the API reference (http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/api.html).

I'm willing to edit the api.rst file, but when I build the docs from scratch (using python make.py html), the resulting api.html file is incomplete. Before I make changes, I'd like to make sure the build of the docs works right. Maybe the build issue should be a different issue?

I think it would certainly be good to add these to the api.rst page.

About the doc building, what do you exactly mean with 'incomplete'? If you don't have a specific issue that can be reported, but like more general help, it can also be easier to use the gitter channel to help you instead of github issues -> https://gitter.im/pydata/pandas

For later reference, the doc building issue was that I was using Sphinx 1.3.1. Using Sphinx 1.3.3 fixed the problem. Now I will update the api.rst page.
