Welcome to Codidact Meta!
Codidact Meta is the meta-discussion site for the Codidact community network and the Codidact software. Whether you have bug reports or feature requests, support questions or rule discussions that touch the whole network – this is the site for you.
Posts tagged feature-request
Tag Wiki
To track requests, you can filter on the status tags:
-
status-completed (done)
-
status-planned (we're planning to do this at some point; sometimes this means it's done but pending deployment)
-
status-deferred (idea is doable but we don't have time/resources right now)
-
status-declined (won't or can't do this)
Here is a filter definition that shows all tagged feature requests:
Any feature request that our team thinks we should do or are planning to do gets logged as an issue on our GitHub repository (with some delay to allow for discussion on Meta first) — this is what our devs look through for things needing to be done.
Sometimes when stumbling across a question I wonder if I should upvote / downvote or not. When this happened on SE sites, I hovered over the buttons and read the description. Currently, Codidact se...
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 completed the entire Codidactyl Tour (including filling in question, flagging uncivil answer to mods etc.) and all I got was this... ... well actually I didn't get anything. No points and no badg...
Recently, some users who are here for a longer time changed their usernames. It often happened that I saw a well-written question or answer from a user I supposedly have never seen before with a hi...
Just a small feature request, preventing duplicate links in the widget would let more posts into the Hot Posts section. Image
I propose that a category should be possible to set such that questions are closed by default (with a specific, selectable close reason that applies to all questions posted to that category) immedi...
Could you please make the "Insert image" tool treat file extensions as case-insensitive when checking for validity? When I post here on Meta, I frequently insert screenshots taken from MS Windows' ...
It would be nice if hovering on a question tag, a tooltip containing the whole HTML formatted usage guidance is shown.
Each site and category has a default license that is selected as default for new posts to that category. The license actually assigned to each post is that selected by the user when the post is ini...
We have a tool for doing bulk imports of questions (and answers) from SE. It has several limitations: Running it requires direct DB access. The resulting data is sometimes wrong in various ways -...
Right now for me, the links here https://outdoors.codidact.com/mod/featured are listed with the oldest on top, I think it would make more sense to order them the other way.
I'm sure there are people who love the keyboard shortcuts. However, I find them to (a) be somewhat overzealous (just now, I was somehow redirected to the "ask question" page while I was writing an ...
In my notifications box, I had two notifications: You were mentioned in a comment mark unread and New comment on Should we show tags before the body, to provide context for reading the question...
I'm not sure where to start, on my first visit to this site. I don't know the rules, the context, the history, anything really. What brought me here is the search for better online discussion techn...
OK I just went through the tutorial. Two issues: At the last question creation step, one has to add keywords. But I wasn’t able to. First I tried making up my own and while that didn’t work, some...
I haven't found the option to remove/delete account in neither "Account" tab nor "Edit" one. I don't want to do it but I think it should be possible anyway. The Q what should happen to content that...
Should user accounts from forum.codidact.org be imported? Since the forum was deprecated, I read the notice and went to this meta. The top of the meta says that all Codidact sites have the same log...
Issue According to the answers provided by the community staff to this post, I conclude that one of the Codidact policies is empowering moderators to take some required actions in some situations a...
At the time of writing, there is a big chunk of (around 15) [status-completed] and [status-declined] posts in the Q&A category feed, burying the open posts. Since open posts are much more impor...
Can the user info have a scroll box on mobile like there is on desktop (for when someone decides to put a ton of details in their description)?
The feature that causes drafts to be saved automatically should: Save the title and tags. Be activated when I edit a tag or the title. I put the tags for bug and feature request on because I did...
A deleted question should: Be viewable only by author, Moderators and appropriate high-TL users. Not allow new comments or editing of comments on question or answers. Not allow new answers. Not al...
Currently, users can only add their twitter handle and one other website to their profile. I find this kind of limiting since someone might want to add more to their profile. Say for instance they ...
Currently, the "Questions by [someone]" list lumps together all questions, regardless of the category. This mixes meta questions in with actual Q&A. Can we please have something in that list to...
Meta should have a dedicated category for bug reports, to increase the chance that users will pile onto an existing bug report rather than create new ones. Even people who can't be bothered to sear...
Issue: Consider the scenario where you post a new question, and five people all write comments or answers on it. Your inbox will then have five notifications in it, one for each new response. You c...
I've noticed that the photography.codidact meta tagging system differs from what seems more conventional. For example, it appears that there no tags are mandatory (here at least one of [bug] [featu...
I noticed that the email subscriptions settings page doesn't sync between the different sites. It kind of irks me that everything else is exactly the same between the different account pages except...
Since Codidact shows + and - votes on the list of posts, would it be possible (practical...) to show if the currently logged in User has voted on each post? When displaying an individual post, ther...
With the hierarchical tags, it would be possible to have both a tag and its parent on the same post which is means that the parent tag is unneeded. An example would be a post with both an animal an...
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...
There are currently seven tags with zero posts associated with them in the Meta Q&A category1 (excluding tags like TibetLhasatourpackage which have deleted posts associated with them.) These ta...
Issue #1: On the "tags" tab, there's an option to sort by hierarchy. When you have a lot of child tags under the same parent tag, or multiple parents next to each other with lots of children, thing...
Just a tiny cosmetic stuff easy to fix. Please add tooltip for the characters used for admins and moderators in the user list. Note: I know these already exist in the actual user profile.
According to the Terms of Service, You agree not to use the Service to [...] violate any applicable law or regulation; [...] post content that is hateful, discriminatory, harmful, illegal, or othe...
My other Meta post n the usage of status tags pointed out a pretty big gap to me. Namely, we don't have a tag to signify that something is being actively worked on. While we currently use either [s...
Currently, the user list displays the Administrator (☗) and Moderator (☖) badges on users, but not the staff badge that displays when you go to the user's profile. For consistency, could you have t...
Currently, each post is visibly tagged with a timestamp that indicates when it was posted, as well as by whom. Also, of course, posts can be edited; both by the original poster, and by other users....
I notice that all the other Codidact sites have Meta categories, places to ask about the site itself, but this one doesn't. I think this site should have a Meta category where people can ask questi...
(This may not be the simplest feature request. It's also not extremely high priority. It's a nice-to-have, not imperative, and may not be possible at the moment - which is fine.) Everyone loves ke...
In the footer, the sites are currently arranged as: Writing Outdoors Photography Sci Spec Cooking Electrical Engineering Judaism L&L Software Dev Meta With the exclusion of setting Meta apart...
I keep track of new posts via RSS feeds. I would like to have a feed associated with my account that contains only tags/categories/sites I've asked it to watch. That way, I see only the posts I am ...
Answers are shown in order according to their score derived from their votes. However, for answers with the same score, they seem to be shown in chronological order of creation time. This tends t...
There are currently only two choices available to add a "user is suspended" header on a profile. The two reasons are "for being rude" and "to cool down." Sometimes neither of these may be accurate....
Right now, if a category has new/updated posts, a small dot appears next to the category name. Could this feature be extended to posts within the category as well? While it's not that hard to just ...
This question's page shows up as not secure on my computer. I believe it is due to this answer. When I look in the console, it warns that the images on it were loaded insecurely (since the image l...
When logging in with a password, there is an option to remain logged in. However, when using the QR code to login on mobile, this option isn't available, making logging in with the QR code more cum...
(Persistent irrelevant comment: I jumped down to the title field and entered that first and then went back up here to enter the actual question.) I tried to vote on an answer and nothing happened. ...
I don't like the idea that someone's signature can appear on a piece of text that he didn't write or approve. I'm guessing moderators can edit comments. If so, can a moderator-edited comment please...
Currently, each category of a site has its own individual RSS feed. While it's useful, could we have an RSS feed for the entire site? (like how Subscriptions work, but as an RSS feed)
