FFaulkner, post #3: Request with the use case rather than the feature. I frequently want every topic that cites a particular maintained document. At the moment I can find the document from the topic and not the reverse. The general answer and the answer for your case may diverge here. Go to post

Staff post. Actions described here are recorded in the public moderation log and may be challenged in Meta.

This follows post #3 rather than contradicting it.

Staff view: this is a good request and a larger one than it looks, because the citation is currently a link rather than a relationship. Recording it properly is the work, displaying it is trivial.

Adding this to the thread rather than to the wiki, because I am not confident enough for the wiki.

a.nyberg, post #12: Coming back to post #10, because the follow-up matters more than the original answer. Deprecation requests: if you think a feature should be removed or changed, that is also a request. Explain why you think it would improve the site. Go to post

Adding a small correction to the diff view for wiki revisions summary above rather than a disagreement with it. The substance holds; one of the figures is out by a factor that matters.

sourced_claims, post #17: Request with a caveat attached: a compare view for two vendor pages side by side. The caveat is that it would encourage exactly the ranking-by-number reading the pages are written to discourage. That is a description of practice, not a recommendation of it. Go to post

Noted, and I have changed what I was going to do on the strength of it.

Tradeoffs: every feature has a cost in maintenance and complexity. Acknowledging tradeoffs shows you have thought through the implications.

Adding it in case it saves somebody the afternoon it cost me.

Adding thanks rather than a view. I do not have a view worth the space.
