| page left text=Feedback from readers is shown in two locations; a centralised feedback page, which contains feedback from all articles, and specific feedback pages for each article.

Article-specific pages are found at "Special:ArticleFeedbackv5/Articlename". For instance, the feedback for Barack Obama is at Special:ArticleFeedbackv5/Barack Obama.

In addition, any article that has the feedback form on it will also have a link at the top of the article's talk page, as seen on the right. Clicking on this will show feedback for just that article.

When you get to a feedback page, you will be presented with a stream of reader-submitted suggestions. These can be filtered to display particular kinds of feedback; the screenshot below shows the filters.

The most important filters are "Most relevant" and "All comments". "Most relevant" sorts comments by how they have been valued by readers and other editors; the most highly-rated ones appear at the top of the list. This view is ideal for article writers, who can easily identify good suggestions that merit incorporation into the article.

"All comments", meanwhile, simply displays a list of all feedback submitted with attached comments, starting with the most recent. This is great for anti-vandal editors or patrollers, who can easily evaluate whether feedback needs to be promoted or removed.

"Other filters" include highlighting the "Most helpful" feedback, those feedback posts featured by other editors, or suggestions that have been identified as abuse.
