(As stated I need to work on this a bit more, but I figured I'd send a pull request to identify whether any other teams would benefit from this before investing the effort :-))

We've been using it for some time and it has proved handy.

Thanks for contribution. Would be nice to have this in checker. ;-)

👍 from me

Does checkParamExistence make sense as a rule name or is there a better name I should use? I will work to get this in mergeable form :)

There is a huge conflicting rule checkParamNames. Can you take a look at it? Looks like it should skip checking if there are @inheritdoc or some other tags you use here.

Should I merge checkParamNames with checkParamExistence or is it better to have them separate? I can't think of a reason where you wouldn't want to check both..

Not sure. checkParamNames already weighs a lot. I'd go to ignore this logic somehow in checkParamNames (just to prevent false reports), and left checkParamExistence as is. But you're right so guess better to merge them into one rule.

What is the reason of not supporting @inheritdoc in the jsdoc3 annotation type, when it's available in jsduck5 annotation type?

@piotr-cz http://usejsdoc.org/tags-inheritdoc.html — just need to add. ;-) #142

Apologies this is taking me so long. I tried recently but am a bit rusty in this repository and couldn't get npm test to run in my local dev environment and didn't have the time to debug. I will try again as soon as I have a moment.

Personally I'll try to find some time next weekend to merge all PRs, but there is another strange issue with bundled to jscs version. I'm not sure how much time it takes.

But if you have some troubles with npm test — just tell me, I'm almost always ready to help ;-) Btw, there is a chat at gitter.im: https://gitter.im/jscs-dev/node-jscs

okay pushed. I wasn't able to see the issues with checkParamNames option but these rules might want to be merged in future. I've given you loads of test cases so hopefully that will give you confidence in my patch! It's good to be contributing again! :)
