What's a good strategy for changing a question tagged with feature-request and status-declined into a question tagged with status-planned.

If it is the question you referenced in your previous question, then never. But in general, a good answer explaining why the feature can be beneficial would be best or what Martijn said– psubsee2003Commented Nov 10, 2013 at 0:10

@Rosinante Now I have many more questions. I don't think this solution would be helpful.– javaPlease42Commented Nov 10, 2013 at 0:22

61) Have (or acquire) upwards of 28 Million Dollars 2) Buy Stack Overflow from the VC firms that (probably) currently hold the majority of the company 3) Go to their hexagonal New York offices 4) Call a meeting 5) Fire everyone who could stand in your way (advisory boards and such) 6) Give specific orders to implement that feature RIGHT F███ING NOW 7) 6-8 weeks later, watch the new feature unfold!– PekkaCommented Nov 10, 2013 at 1:01

You would have to come up with a new proposal that addresses the concerns raised against the old declined proposal.
This may well be an uphill battle however, so choose your proposal and arguments wisely.
If you build a better mousetrap and can tell the world, the developers will beat a path to your door.

I've done that before with other people's questions, but they have all been marked as duplicates of the original proposals with no action taken.– user215114Commented Nov 10, 2013 at 21:15

1@gparyani: Did your question link to the previous discussion and show why your new question was covering new ground and addressed the objections raised before? I did say that the approach is an uphill battle, you need to be thorough for it to work. Commented Nov 10, 2013 at 21:58
