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.

I invested tremendous resources into producing quality content, and marketing it. Starting from zero to me is excessive. I'd like some way to display my SE progress directly and visibly on my Codi...
When you click on "Flag" under a post, you get a dropdown asking "Why does this post require moderator attention?" One of the options is needs author's attention This question is off-topic ...
It seems almost taken for granted on every Codidact site - even Languages & Linguistics - that questions and answers are supposed to be written in English, although I can't find any official po...
By my understanding, one of the key features of the Codidact network is that individual communities are more in control of their local policies. In particular, it appears that community moderators ...
Why ? It would facilitate some misunderstandings and clarification without the need for a public comment. It would open a path to people being "mentored" in their first 5 question or what amount i...
I just made a comment on another Meta post because I wasn't sure whether something in someone else's answer was a typo, or if so what the correct wording should be. It turned out that my best guess...
As things stand, the options for flagging a question seem rather spartan: Image of flagging dialog We have: two options for actual abusive use of the site software an option for dupli...
A sort of a solution to this problem, but would also apply to posts such as moderator elections, one-off proposals (though status-complete also works), and just generally posts which at some point ...
I am a new user to Codidact that just migrated from StackOverflow and there are some things I would like to get across, besides this website being smaller, but we already knew what we were getting ...
I noticed that questions exist on this network and are accessible that are unlikely to ever be very helpful, for example because they were marked as completely off-topic. Examples Are internati...
How is this not easily solved with grade school math? -1 for being a dumb question. I can't tell whether this is trolling or a serious question, since finding the answer only requires sevent...
In my effort of giving structure to EE.CD tags pages, I find myself in the need of asking the community for consensus about some debatable choices. Of course the place for this is EE Meta, but I'd...
During my effort at building structure and content in the EE.CD tags pages, I found myself often wanting a way to list all the tags in alphabetic order, regardless of their status or their place in...
Currently the old Site Proposals category points to the new Proposals community, presumably as a temporary measure until people get used to the new community. This is not ideal, as described in the...
The drop down menu at the top right of each Codidact page shows a list of all the sites in the network. The list is also shown in the page footer, and on codidact.com. There is also a site for peo...
It's been pointed out in a few places that, so long as creating tags is much easier than managing them, we're going to have problems handling typos, duplicates, and tags that otherwise ought not ex...
The level of activity of the communities vary. Some are more active than others, which isn't exactly a problem. However, I'm a bit worried when a community becomes significantly less active than ot...
I have noticed a user that I suspect may be posting AI generated content. What should I do in such a situation? I don't want to go into exactly why I think it's an AI. Suffice to say, I work on LL...
Currently, it is possible to set required tags for a category. For example, here on meta it lists as required tags one of: bug, feature-request, discussion or support. For meta, this works pretty ...
I think this has come up before, maybe tangentially on some specific site (EE.CD ?), but I lost track of the posts/comments. Anyway, I think it would be useful, at least for EE.CD, but I post here...
We currently have a limit of 5 tags per question. Should we keep this the same or would any changes be of benefit? For example: Should the limit be higher or lower? Should there be different ...
Historical note: When this post was written, we planned to use the QPixel software as a stopgap while building a new Codidact platform from scratch. That's not what we ended up doing. Since early ...
On EE.CO we have some tags that are utterly useless, but people keep on using them, for example voltage. For non-experts: voltage is one of the main physical quantity used to describe the behavior...
When you click on the "Mobile Sign-In" button, you are shown a QR code that, when scanned with your phone, opens your browser on the phone and signs you in automatically. Although I can see how th...
This site runs on the QPixel software, maintained by Codidact. What progress has been made recently? There will be one answer per year. 2023 (current year) 2022 2021 2020
I'm planning to add a public API to Codidact so people can make applications that read Codidact data automatically. Features and purposes I have my own purposes in mind for this[1], but there are...
The "Works for me" reaction can be added to any answer, even if the reacting user is the author of the answer. For example, here is what an answer looks like if I post the answer and react to it m...
Original GitHub issue: Can't revert to a blank profile GitHub issue raise more recently suggesting greater demand: "Edit Profile" bio must have a minimum of 30 characters When editin...
I'd look to use my own tools for browsing Codidact. Examples include: Summarize activity for a proposal I'm interested in, similar to what's described in https://meta.codidact.com/posts/289288/2...
Related: Could we have a way to edit without bumping posts? Motivation I usually edit my own posts a lot of times in order to improve them. This put the corresponding post on top of the "main p...
I usually work with dozens of open tabs in my browser and even when using Codidact I have several tabs open pointing maybe at different posts on different communities and/or meta. Having different...
I just had to reply to a staff member in a comment about some potentially "illegal" HTML code that can be entered in a post. I had to edit the comment about a dozen times because the code I entere...
(Apologies if this is a dupe. I couldn't find a way to search Meta questions.) I joined Codidact after hearing about it on Programming Puzzles & Code Golf (PPCG) Stack Exchange a few years ago,...
I'm assessing Codidact Q&A for use by our organisation, so I want to try out features to compare against our list of requirements. I don't want to be posting bogus questions where they're going...
Related: A vote in the meta category for the EE site reflected in my reputation. Is that a bug? Suppose I participate in Meta and Q&A Software Codidact, and a Meta answer of mine is downvote...
The sorting buttons at the top of a category's post list have title text which appears on hovering with a mouse, but this is not available on mobile devices. "Activity", "Age", and "Score" are r...
As the title says. Rationale: I'm in the process of giving tags on EE.CD some structure and I feel that sometimes a group of tags could be usefully grouped under a parent which doesn't exist yet. ...
Would it be acceptable to create a dummy tag like merge-into-this-for-nuking-another-tag just to ease the usage of the "merge trick" described here to nuke a tag? Of course the usage would spell i...

Seeing the option to list a Twitter profile on one's profile leaves a bad taste in my mouth given recent developments on that site. I don't think it deserves to be promoted above other social medi...
Flagging an answer After pressing "Flag" under an answer there are 3 radio buttons to choose from: Flagging questions and answers Some changes would benefit both types of post. Changes specifi...
Can I follow/subscribe to a question so that I'm notified when it has new answers? It looks like a can subscribe to new comments using the "Follow new" button below a post, but I'm more interested...
This website seems much like the Stack Exchange family of sites, but I immediately noticed some differences, like being able to comment at once and not being able to vote on this meta (but the abil...
Various places in Codidact where a user enters text seem to have a minimum character requirement. If you enter fewer characters than that, the system keeps the "submit post" button greyed out, pop...
Some places render "--" (double hyphen) as "—" (em dash). Currently Codidact does not -- so these are left as double hyphens in both the edit preview and a rendered post (like that). Would it be ...
I'm reviewing a number of Q&A platforms for use by our internal Software Engineering community. Our implementation of a Q&A platform would ideally be hosted internally or on a private accou...
The first animated avatar someone has used here (https://cooking.codidact.com/posts/288814) points out that we don't have any rules addressing them. Let's not allow this. This falls into the same...
Often I'm looking over a post and feel that I have what to add as a comment. But as soon as I look at the comments, I find that someone's already written exactly what I would have said. At that poi...
With Stack Exchange's apparent move towards accepting generative AI in the answers, people might be looking for alternatives. I, personally, recommend Codidact to people regularly. I tried to dete...
Most of the time, any logged-in user can post a new top-level post (question, article, maybe other types). Categories can restrict this posting access, however. For example, on the Meta blog, onl...
