This PR has 360 quantified lines of changes. In general, a change size of upto 200 lines is ideal for the best PR experience!

Quantification details

Label      : Large
Size       : +315 -45
Percentile : 76%

Total files changed: 3

Change summary by file extension:
.cs : +85 -28
.resx : +212 -0
.ps1 : +18 -17

Change counts above are quantified counts, based on the PullRequestQuantifier customizations.

Why proper sizing of changes matters

Optimal pull request sizes drive a better predictable PR flow as they strike a
balance between between PR complexity and PR review overhead. PRs within the
optimal size (typical small, or medium sized PRs) mean:

Fast and predictable releases to production:
- Optimal size changes are more likely to be reviewed faster with fewer
  iterations.
- Similarity in low PR complexity drives similar review times.
Review quality is likely higher as complexity is lower:
- Bugs are more likely to be detected.
- Code inconsistencies are more likely to be detected.
Knowledge sharing is improved within the participants:
- Small portions can be assimilated better.
Better engineering practices are exercised:
- Solving big problems by dividing them in well contained, smaller problems.
- Exercising separation of concerns within the code changes.

What can I do to optimize my changes

Use the PullRequestQuantifier to quantify your PR accurately
- Create a context profile for your repo using the context generator
- Exclude files that are not necessary to be reviewed or do not increase the review complexity. Example: Autogenerated code, docs, project IDE setting files, binaries, etc. Check out the Excluded section from your prquantifier.yaml context profile.
- Understand your typical change complexity, drive towards the desired complexity by adjusting the label mapping in your prquantifier.yaml context profile.
- Only use the labels that matter to you, see context specification to customize your prquantifier.yaml context profile.
Change your engineering behaviors
- For PRs that fall outside of the desired spectrum, review the details and check if:
  - Your PR could be split in smaller, self-contained PRs instead
  - Your PR only solves one particular issue. (For example, don't refactor and code new features in the same PR).

How to interpret the change counts in git diff output

One line was added: +1 -0
One line was deleted: +0 -1
One line was modified: +1 -1 (git diff doesn't know about modified, it will
interpret that line like one addition plus one deletion)
Change percentiles: Change characteristics (addition, deletion, modification)
of this PR in relation to all other PRs within the repository.

@MartinGC94 Are all these changes related, or can you break them down into different PRs?

MartinGC94 · 2025-03-20T19:13:08Z

@iSazonov Everything except the additional switch cases for Compare-Object and ConvertTo-Html are related. I can pull out those changes but it's like 10 lines of code that we "save" on that, so not sure if it's worth it, but it's up to you.

-Edit: I changed my mind and removed the irrelevant changes. The PR could be further split into tooltips for hashtables, and updating the tooltips for help keywords to use the resource file but then I'd have to deal with annoying merge conflicts so I'd prefer not to.

+    <value>[string[]]
+Selects events with any of the specified values in the EventData section.</value>


Can we add an example in the help?

The tooltips generally don't have examples. I'm also not sure how much value there would be in something like: Get-WinEvent -FilterHashtable @{LogName="System";ID=7040;Data="BITS"} because unless you happen to have the raw event data in front of you, you won't know what field "BITS" refers to. The same goes for the SuppressHashFilter suggestion.

+  </data>


Maybe use the same pattern started with keyword everywhere?

Do you mean replacing all the *HashtableKeyDescription instances with HashtableKeyDescription*? (Example: StartTimeHashtableKeyDescription -> HashtableKeyDescriptionStartTime)

I mean .PARAMETER in help text.

I see. The point of .PARAMETER <Parameter-Name> is to show the required syntax. I use it for all the help keywords that take some sort of parameter, for example: EXTERNALHELP and FORWARDHELPCATEGORY. For the help keywords that don't take any arguments (SYNOPSIS and others) I don't see any reason to include an extra line with just the keyword.
