@mitzimorris this was the docs issue we mentioned yesterday that should be looked at alongside better doc on the subtleties of writing your own lpdf which calls other lpdfs/lupdfs

Huh, I hadn't noticed that little auto-generated link on the side of the issue bar. We should probably just delete that file

 It shows up in the righthand column as the "Contributing" link under "Helpful resources"

I think something like what @rok-cesnovar has been working on here https://github.com/rok-cesnovar/stan-distributions could be nice if we could find a way to incorporate it with the existing documentation (at least...

I weirdly enjoy doing this kind of tedious doc work, so I can take a look. I’m thinking it would be best to have a dagger or something notate functions...

Two questions: 1. What's the best way to convey this information? A big table somewhere which lists every function? A set of symbols we use on each function signature, with...

Is it safe to assume that if one signature of a function has analytic [fwd|rev] derivatives that the vectorized versions/overloads will?

Happy to help with this still but I'm not 100% sure I'm familiar enough with the CPP to do this alone, so I've unassigned
