TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
If I wrote the following description:
Woobbly Factor Widgets only. Displays the percentage of woobblies.
would adding the following be redundant?
Otherwise, this field and label do not display.
I think I am being redundant. But I can just hear the testers (the primary
audience for the document) saying, "Why isn't the Woobbly Factor field
displaying for Doodads?" That's why I think I should leave it in. But,
alas, I am torn. I would appreciate input.
By the way, omitting the potential redundancy would not harm fowl nor
beast. I just work for an insurance company.
