Should bugs and feature requests go to local Metas or Meta.Codidact?

+8
−1

When users of a Codidact site come up with bugs or feature requests that are not specific to that site:

  • Is it preferable that they post to their local Meta or to Meta.Codidact?

  • Is one of these options strictly the correct practice?

  • If not, what are the pros and cons of each?

@pnuts if people only participate on one site and there seems to be a place right there to report issues or make requests, it will seem natural to some to do so. The downside, as you say, is that fewer people will see it or know it's already been reported -- but we shouldn't assume that all users will instinctively go to main meta.

It seems to me that the simple fix for this is to include a very short statement about it at the top of per-site Metas and a bold/warning/reminder statement about it when Asking a question on per-site Meta. That should take care of most people who either don't know there is Meta.Codidact or don't know that they should ask there. Anyone who comes here for a specific community may have no idea that there is Meta.Codidact.
