Request from the analytics side: allow a table in a post to be marked as data rather than layout, so it can be copied without the formatting. Half the tables here are worth pasting into a spreadsheet.

Topic summary
Request: a per-category review queue
This is a generated summary. It shows the 9 most-liked posts from a topic of 137, in their original order, with the accepted answer included where one exists. It is a reading aid and it will miss nuance — the full topic is the record.
Coming back to post #34, because the follow-up matters more than the original answer.
Reframing per-category review queue slightly, because I think the disagreement is about the question rather than the answer. If the question is "does it happen", yes. If it is "how often", nobody here knows.

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.

The failure mode on per-category review queue is boring rather than dramatic. It is almost always the step everyone assumes was done correctly because it is too simple to get wrong.

Counter-request, gently: please do not add anything on hover. It does not exist on a phone and half the readers here are on one.
On balance I think that is right, and I would not bet much on it.

Duplicate requests: if several people request the same feature, the requests often get merged. Check whether your feature has already been suggested before posting.

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