Cross-referencing: if you notice two pages that should reference each other but do not, suggest the cross-reference.
Revisiting: A page that has drifted out of date and needs a maintainer
post #25 is right about the mechanism and I think understates the practical bit.
Flag a page that has drifted: if you notice a maintained page has information that is outdated (dates that have passed, regulatory changes, new evidence) post a flag so the maintainers see it.
Scope creep: if you think a page is attempting too much and should be split into multiple pages, that is a reasonable suggestion.
Scope creep: if you think a page is attempting too much and should be split into multiple pages, that is a reasonable suggestion.
Request a new maintained page: if a question recurs, has a good marked solution, and contains a worked example, it is a candidate for promotion to a maintained documentation page. Post your nomination in this subcategory with a link to the topic.
Format suggestions: if you think a maintained page could be clearer in its presentation (different section structure, different examples, added graphics) suggest the change.
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.
