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

Adding a small note: the same idea applies on mobile, just with a bit more attention to tap targets.

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

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