   Format: MarkdownItexThis would presumably be the entry to mention * Daniel Grady, Hisham Sati, _Primary operations in differential cohomology_, ([arXiv:1604.05988](https://arxiv.org/abs/1604.05988)) where the differential cohomology diagram and cohesion are to be found on p.9. What does the 'primary' part mean? WHat's the relationship to [[primary homotopy operation]]?

   Format: MarkdownItexTim, you just tried ([rev 21](https://ncatlab.org/nlab/revision/diff/cohomology+operation/21)) to hyperlink the intentionally misspelled name (as per [#4](https://nforum.ncatlab.org/discussion/3551/cohomology-operation/?Focus=86584#Comment_86584)). That doesn't make sense, does it? I have rolled back your edit. Let's wait until the bug gets fixed, and then add in the correct hyperlink.
