>Did it work then? Will it work now? God, who knows. Could it have worked at Wikipedia? Both Wikipedia and SO have the same problem that all the easy work is taken. The article on Silicon looked *pretty* different 25 years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Silicon&oldid=280833 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Silicon&oldid=280... "A chemical element, in the periodic table Silicon has the symbol Si and atom number 14." Now it has 127 references. Same with SO. There's just only so many questions to ask about list comprehension but everyone has them. The site was built for a lot, but it wasn't built for new humans having question shaped problems who still wanted to ask those questions. https://data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/query/1926661#graph https://data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/query/1926661#g... This is not a problem that is gonna be solved by a change here or there. That graph says "toes up". Wikipedia has a softer one; it's heading the same direction and it hit the peak before SO did. It's structural. I think a lot of folks imagine "if only we did X, ..." but I am not so sure.
