Requesting a page: what makes a good request

Requesting a page: what makes a good request Writing it up because I had to work it out twice and would rather nobody else did.

Nominating something for promotion into the documentation commons.

The topic in question keeps being re-asked, has a good marked solution, and contains a worked example that would be more useful on a page with a review date than buried in a reply. That is exactly the promotion criterion as written.

Objections welcome and genuinely wanted — the whole point of discussing promotions in public is that a bad promotion is harder to undo than a bad reply.

Suggesting content for a page: if you know a maintained page is missing something important, post a suggestion with specific content you think should be added.

Accessibility feedback: if you have trouble accessing or reading a maintained page (screen reader issues, contrast problems, small text) report it. Accessibility matters.

Cross-referencing: if you notice two pages that should reference each other but do not, suggest the cross-reference.

post #47 answers the question as asked. The question underneath it is different.

Format suggestions: if you think a maintained page could be clearer in its presentation (different section structure, different examples, added graphics) suggest the change.

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.

post #58 answers the question as asked. The question underneath it is different.

Scope creep: if you think a page is attempting too much and should be split into multiple pages, that is a reasonable suggestion.

Two things before anyone answers the substance.

First, the context in the first post is clear and specific. Second, the question is framed so that an answer can actually address it. Both are the norm here and both matter more than they sound.
