@Jaykul completely agree. Here is what I am struggling with: We don't have the chance to always teach people these things. How can we support them through pure code analysis?...

`-Force` skipts confirmation *and* also reinstalls all modules (if I understand correctly). This is taken from the help: "If the module is already installed, Force reinstalls the module." So when...

The cmdlet workgroup reviewed this again. If the use case is to improve user experience and let users focus on most relevant parameters then we feel there should be a...

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We are on the same page, the Cmdlet WG sees benefits of hiding common parameters: some users may be able to better focus on...

Let me add that „adding common parameters to simple functions“ for sake of *true* consistency is not doable. Simple functions are around for backwards compatibility. They do not *hide* common...

Fair point regarding not showing common parameters that have no actual implementation. I‘ll carry that point into the WG. However I assume this is because the settings are carried on...

The cmdlet working group reviewed this and finds it a valuable addition. We believe it's appropriate to call the parameter -Host because there are other hosts beside the console, i.e....
