Each time somebody gets one of these pages, an opportunity to gather a bit o’ collective intelligence is lost.

What I mean by that is the page should be designed to encourage people to look through the questions of others to find a properly worded question.

Then there is the obligatory crunching/nomming of data and the site automagically begins to route your question to what is mostly likely the closest question that can be successfully answered.

But before we can get there, Wolfram is going to need to generate clickthroughs on related-question suggestions. I’m astonished that they aren’t on top of this, considering they probably have been poring over Google case studies at Wolfram Research.
