Visually mark the favorable ladder that is required.

Very often on josekipedia you will come upon a joseki variation with the note "Favorable ladder required" attached, without any mention of where exactly this particular ladder would run to.
Instead of (or in addition to) this half-assed "Favorable ladder required" comment, Josekipedia should allow placing diagonal white and black arrows on the (opposite end of the) board, to make the ladders in question immediately visually obvious. Alternatively --instead of arrows-- you could lay out (the tail of) the ladder itself, but with stones that are 50% transparent (so as to be immediately distinguishable from the actual stones already present in the joseki).
