Appreciate the clear steps. The dry-run tip in particular saved me from a mistake I would not have caught otherwise.

This deserves more votes. It is a small change with an outsized impact on day-to-day use.

Tried this on a staging copy first and it behaved exactly as described. Confident enough to roll it to production now.

This matches my experience exactly. The hard part is staying consistent once the initial novelty wears off.

We ran into the same situation last quarter. What worked for us was starting small and only adding complexity when a real need showed up.

Solid breakdown. The only thing I would add is to back up before making the change — better safe than sorry.

Could you say more about how you measured the result? I want to try this but I am not sure what success would look like.

This is the answer I wish I had found six months ago. Would have saved me a weekend of trial and error.

I respectfully disagree on one detail. In my setup the opposite held true, though I suspect it comes down to community size.

Strong agree. Good defaults beat a wall of toggles every single time.

Thanks for writing this up. Bookmarking it — the kind of thing I will want to reference again in a month.
