When viewing a user's Edits on the Activity tab of the user profile, it includes "Initial revision", which seems to me more like a posting than an edit: In the edit history of an individual post...
Currently, the best place I can find to track my progress towards the Edit ability (30 approved suggested edits with at least 95% approval) is the Activity tab of the user profile, filtered to Edit...

Could each site have its own favicon? When I have too many tabs open and can't read the page titles, it'll help me distinguish the different sites.

I've seen many times something like "This is just my personal opinion, not of the team" when administrators such as Monica Cellio respond to posts. In my opinion, this is because of a lack of a way...
