:::::::Who are you to say how wikipedia should or shouldn't be? Or that you are not supposed to be able to locate a list of features?! Wikipedia is a place for information and sometimes it is very usefull to present information in a list, you find it all over wikipedia. For me you have deliberately damaged the changes part to Windows 8.1 [[User:user931|user931]] 20:54, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
:::::::History of Firefox is a good example of sorting features based on which update brought them. It follows the advice of [[WP:NOTCHANGELOG]] because it integrates the changes into the history section/sub-article instead of a features section/sub-article. - [[User:Josh the Nerd|Josh]] ([[User talk:Josh the Nerd|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Josh_the_Nerd|contribs]]) 15:38, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
::::::::Hello. That is a byproduct of Mozilla applying changes based on a coherent plan in advance. They know what they want. But the main reason is that the article is written in prose and only focuses on major changes in an organized well-written fashion. They didn't make a list that puts "Start button" and "MiraCast" together. Best regards, [[User:Codename Lisa|Codename Lisa]] ([[User talk:Codename Lisa|talk]]) 00:49, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
::I still fail to understand why we can't have a list of important new features, like many Windows service packs and platform updates do. And why remove any mention of Direct3D 11.2, DXGI 1.3 and WDDM 1.3 - does it really qualify as "change log"? --[[Special:Contributions/128.69.219.161|128.69.219.161]] ([[User talk:128.69.219.161|talk]]) 19:31, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
:::Hi. Although I normally don't engage in "other stuff exists" discussion, I am curious now: What other articles are you talking about? I checked a few myself: [[Windows XP]] article has only a paragraph about "Service Pack 2". Changes that come with Service Pack 2 are merged with [[Features new to Windows XP]] in this very same fashion. (Mind you, Service Pack 2 had more changes than Windows 8.1 has.)
 
:::As for Direct3D 11.2, DXGI 1.3 and WDDM 1.3, we can add them, if you have a source.
