An API (note: API) declares a consumer (6 passages, no note) that never cites (31 passages, no note) it, or a note cites (6 passages, no note) an API that does not list it. One of the two is out of date (44 passages, no note). A declared consumer is an identifier (note: Identifier), written in full or relative to the source (note: Source) of the API note; a note (note: Note) listed under the ## Consumers section (note: Section) of the API note is declared too; a note cites the API when a serves link (note: Link) between the two was read in that note, the API's own consumers attribute (note: Attribute) and ## Consumers section being declarations (17 passages, no note) rather than citations (note: Mention). The attribute asks for the reconciliation: an API note without it is left to the API without consumer check (note: Check).
Check W-API-CONSUMER-MISMATCH, severity (note: Severity) warning by default, documented with a before and after example in the check pages. The severity can be overridden per project (note: Project) or per repository (note: Knowledge repository).
