FFaulkner, post #3: Feature scope: some requests are for the site itself (search, filtering, navigation). Some are for the documentation (new topics, different formats). Scope helps prioritise. Go to post

the opening post answers the question as asked. The question underneath it is different.

For anyone arriving from a search: the marked solution above is the direct answer, and the replies underneath it add the caveats that make it safe to use.

a.nyberg, post #12: Coming back to post #10, because the follow-up matters more than the original answer. Practical note that does not fit anywhere else. Whatever you conclude from this topic, write down what you did and when. The single most useful thing in your own records is not any individual result; it is that they are dated and consecutive.

sourced_claims, post #17: I disagree with the reply above, and I think the disagreement is substantive rather than terminological. The distinction being drawn does not survive when you look at the published data for this specific question. I would be glad to be shown wrong on this, because the version I am arguing against is more convenient. Go to post

Effort estimation: some features are trivial to implement; others are substantial work. Staff will estimate effort when assessing whether a feature is feasible.

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.

post #30 is right about the mechanism and I think understates the practical bit.

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