Over on MathOverflow's meta, there's a sticky discussion that is basically a list of all the feature requests that are relevant to MathOverflow (either suggested by users, or that users have found and think particularly great). I'd like to create such a list here as well.

So please list here feature requests that you make on meta.SO or that you find there and think are pertinent to this site. Listing a request here does not imply any endorsement on anyone's behalf, indeed it may be that a particular request would be an absolute disaster for us here (for example, site-wide enabling of MathJaX). The point is purely to bring these to people's attention who might not otherwise spot them. I hope that people are intelligent enough to make up their own minds on whether they should vote for the feature request or not.

• Allow low rep users to comment on duplicates. Following on from this discussion where a new user's question was closed as a duplicate but they wanted more information than the parent question supplied.

• Give us a great say in migration. Migration should have a "pull" factor to match the "push" factor. A high-rep TeX user saying "This should be on TeX-SX" should carry some weight.

• Can we get a preview of tag descriptions when tagging questions? This would provide authors/editors with excerpts from the tag wikis in the question editing window to coach better tagging.

• Can “Improve” edits not count towards the CW count? Because often when one sees an edit suggestion, one also sees a few more improvements that could be made, but these shouldn't count towards making the question CW.

• Can more of the functionality of the old envelope be added to the new drop-down menu? They keep improving the new drop-down menu, but it's not yet a full replacement of the old envelope.

• Shouldn't a rep-less newbie at least be able to upvote a good answer to his/her own questions? (not tagged as "feature-request", however)

• Would a “this edit is being improved” notification be useful?
