We should make it easier for trusted users to manage tags. Can we please have some feedback on the following ideas? Creating tags directly (independently of a post): move from mod-only to anyo...
I am trying to run QPixel on my local computer. I tried all instruction from readme.md, but unfortunately I got some errors. where can i ask about it? On this meta or Software Development or must o...
Each category header includes an "Edits" link, which is a link to a list of pending suggested edits in the current category. But nothing alerts people with the ability to approve those edits that ...
The process for site proposals here seems to be that someone makes a post, then (usually) Monica comes in with an answer asking for anyone interested in the site to comment in order to gauge intere...
As far as I know, a "contact us" button (or alike) is both an accessibility standard and a business standard, to say the least. I want to write to the community managers privately --- and please u...
I recently got the ability to directly edit posts. However, the button to edit the posts still is still labeled as "Suggest Edit" instead of simply "Edit". This is purely a visual bug; I am stil...
I got a You were mentioned in a comment notification while browsing SD. I tried to open it and instead of redirecting to the right community (Meta) it opened the reference in a current community. ...
It appears to me that the notification system is not consistently marking as "read" something I've clicked on. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. I've been trying to run some tests to see if ...
Has anyone seen my unicorn "Fluffy"? It has green fur and loves apples. It was last seen-... Since a few days back, the user avatar is missing on my profile: And I've seen the same on other u...
I realize that some usernames are very difficult to mention due to the way that the current system works. Currently, you have to type in at least three characters after the @ before the list of men...
When I type something in the tag box, a list of similarly named tags is produced, along with the actual thing I typed, and I can click to select the tag I want. If I type something with spaces (e.g...
On answers, the "last activity" notice tells the time when the answer was edited and the user who edited it. For example, https://meta.codidact.com/posts/278908/history correctly states who edited ...
I love the editor, it is so white and clean. I think the idea of having the title field at the bottom is genius. It lets you collect your thoughts and make a really meaningful title. I have a co...
In the buttons below a Question/Answer, there is one for viewing its history: This is a feature request for adding a rollback feature to the history page of a question/answer, since the edits to...
Ever since we introduced articles to Codidact, posts have been referred to with their post type. The URL to get to a question or answer would be /questions/12345, and to get to an article would be ...
A picture is worth a thousand words, but don't put too many words in a picture As you can see, the title of the post is long enough that it extends past the edges of the image.
We've had some discussions here on Meta about shared resource pages -- wiki-style articles that anybody could edit, canonical posts, and so on. My original idea for this was that individual posts ...
I personally like the idea of knowing how many people have viewed my posts. Even if it's only shown for the person who posted the question
As of the time of writing, this request has the [status-completed] tag despite the change not being live yet. It is completely developed, sure, but since it is not yet deployed, should the request ...
I've noticed that images uploaded to Codidact don't retain any meta information. That is, they don't keep either the name of the image or the image extension. While the former isn't that bad (alt t...
I wrote a post without realizing I was using the default licence CC BY-SA instead of the licence I wanted to use (CC0). I wanted to amend my mistake; I wasn't able to. Other similar (but closed sou...
Over on Software, the [excel] tag was mistakenly put as a subtag of [openoffice-calc]. When I went to edit the tag to fix it, I realized there was no option to remove the parent tag. I ended up ask...
See the history of this post, the reason for closure (closed as duplicate) doesn't appear in it; when I reopened the question the close reason and duplicate target were completely lost since it was...

I identified a possible Markdown rendering error. In this post, I hyperlinked the last few words. This renders correctly in the preview but not in the actual post. I’ve tested in a few browsers wi...
I have just realized that a tag is redundant: angular-2+ since we have one for [angular] (as opposed with the old flavor, [angularjs]). I have removed it from the only question and I want to remov...

Right now, the Abilities page isn't very obviously accessible - I had to go to my profile, click on one of the abilities I have, then click "Return to list" since there is no direct link there. Th...
Some confusion between I and L. I keep forcing myself to recognize that it doesn't say Edlt or Actlvlty on the profile page. Sign Out has the same issue: From a distance, this looks like Slgn. ...
The community ad has the wrong logo, see the screens hot (the post is from Languages & Linguistics, but the logo shows Meta) After testing a couple times, it seems to be using the logo of th...
I realized that the dashboard isn't particularly easy to find for new people, which is a shame since it's pretty useful. (It shows which communities have new activity at a glance, handy for those i...
Sometimes I find myself browsing through the site and want to share a question. If I arrived through a link to an answer, I do not have a good way to "clean" the URL and be able to get the URL of t...
With the re-tagging of the site proposal, new tags were introduced. I didn't know the meaning of those, so I hovered over them to see a short description just as I was / am used to doing in the Sta...
As explained in the Recent feature changes to the Codidact software, in December 2020 we got: Added community switcher (right side of the top bar). It works very well and it is very useful. C...
I was browsing around Judaism.codidact, and I came across the System user. Looking at it’s profile, I noticed that I can see it has some deleted posts, but when I click on them I get a 404. Is this...
Oh... yet another announcement from me :) So, we built a new user tour, which explains how Codidact works. Every new user will get an inbox-notification inviting them to take the tour (only once, n...
If I click on an already read notification in the inbox, it will go to the page I was notified about, but it will also change it from read to unread. Browsers affected: Microsoft Edge (Chromium...
Can we improve the editor? Currently, the textarea is, IMO, too small (even a short post like this one requires some scrolling when editing). For larger posts (like this one) it's even worse. When ...
Inspired by the change log but certainly not limited to that one post. Many times I find myself writing an answer which goes on for quite a bit, and I find it natural to break it up with # Headers....
On this answer to my question over on Languages, you can see how it ended up overflowing the post area and how part of it is hidden underneath the side widget. This is because of the long string o...
Yay, first bug report about the site! The meta-logo page is returning a 404: https://meta.codidact.com/assets/meta-logo.png

If I put leading text into the post body textbox immediately before a bulleted list, like this: Leading text: * First item * Second item In the preview below the box it shows up correctly, with ...
As of right now, the only real way to see that a question has no answers is to go off the answer count, which is small and not real easy to see. On Outdoors where I am not interested in writing an...
I would like to get notifications about post which I participate in. Is there a way for me to subscribe to a specific question (or to all I have participated in)?
A few day ago, @aCVn proposed that there should be a network-wide sign in to avoid signing in into each sub-site individually. I upvoted the proposal because I like the idea. As of yesterday (19.06...
On the sidebar I see the following widget: "New question" is pretty self-explanatory, but what does "interesting question" mean? What are the requirements for a question to be considered "interest...
There is a pending edit on one of my posts. When I click on Review Changes, I get a page showing two versions of the post side by side. The problem is, there are no obvious changes. It's not even...
When Scientific Speculation was populated with questions and answers from Worldbuilding SE, it also inherited the Worldbuilding SE set of tags. Specifically for the purposes of this question, it in...
