Could it be possible to link to the individual papers that introduced or bumped a given feature-test macro? Right now there's this page, which has the macros and the values (but not the papers), or pages like https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/compiler_support/23 which have the paper but not the macros.

Sounds like a good idea, but good lord would that be a lot of work --Ybab321 (talk) 12:21, 5 December 2022 (PST)

I hope this is quite doable. In fact, it is a bit surprising that that was not done from the very beginning. A good starting point could be this page (and SD-6), — replicate that data in these tables.

We should decide the position of Paper(s) column:

1) | Macro name | Feature | Value | Header | Std | Paper(s) | (i.e. at the end)

or

2) | Macro name | Paper(s) | Feature | Value | Header | Std | (i.e. second column)
