Recording a dissent on a document rather than suppressing it Writing it up because I had to work it out twice and would rather nobody else did.
Recording a dissent, and specifically the version of it that the documentation does not cover. The maintained page handles the general case well and stops exactly where my question starts.
Setting out the gap in case it is a gap in the page rather than a gap in what is known.
The opening post is the version of this I will quote in future. One addition.
Recording a dissent was covered in the wiki last year and the page has a review date on it, which is a better starting point than my memory of a thread.
Ask what the page would look like if it were wrong. A document with no stated failure conditions is hard to review and harder to maintain.
Worth one more sentence than it usually gets.
Nothing in a maintained document is medical advice and the review should confirm the page says so where it matters rather than only in a footer.
