## Retrieval Notes

Use this page as a routing handle, then open the source URL when you need the full pattern explanation, screenshot examples, or exact wording. For public Pixi Wiki use, prefer paraphrased design implications over long source quotes.

Useful retrieval frame:

- Ask what user behavior or interface decision this pattern is meant to shape.
- Check the source page sections before prescribing it; many pages distinguish usage, solution, rationale, and examples.
- Compare nearby patterns in the same subgroup before choosing one.
- Cite this catalog page plus the source URL when using the pattern in design review.
