[edit]

It may be interesting to document the "bug dressed up as a feature" in more detail. Does anyone have additional information? Tkuvho (talk) 11:34, 2 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

"Exceptions"

[edit]

I don't understand the purpose of this section, or why it's separate from the other section. It seems like the idea is to have a section for "good" undocumented features, but that doesn't really seem to make sense given that the other section doesn't seem to define them as "bad" to begin with.

"Feature, not a bug"

[edit]

While undocumented features can be highlighted in some cases as a "feature, not a bug" (usually when queried by an end-user), these are a subset of such instances, and not a true synonym. There are other cases when documented features can be flagged to end users as "features, not bugs", whether it's due to the end user not reading/having access to the relevant documentation, or perhaps having different expectations about normal program behaviour from the programmers/designers. I'll have to find some sourced examples and create a new article. — Sasuke Sarutobi (push to talk) 17:55, 4 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
