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.

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

A review date is a commitment rather than a formality, and a shorter cycle for a fast-moving subject is the whole point of setting it deliberately.

Check the links. Promotion frequently breaks a cross-reference because the source topic now points at the document rather than the reverse.

The most useful review comment names a sentence and says what is wrong with it. General approval and general concern are both hard to act on.

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