Q&A

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.

Add a [status-pending] or similar tag

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 [status-completed] (for things that are done developing but not yet launched) or [status-planned] to this effect, votes on the linked discussion seem to signal that [status-completed] shouldn't be used for this, and the [status-planned], to me, tag signals that something is planned for the future and isn't being worked on at the moment.

You may ask "why don't we say [status-planned] = in progress and [status-deferred] = planned for later?" However, [status-deferred] to me signals that it has no plans to be worked on, but also isn't rejected; the idea is sort of in limbo.

Thus, I suggest we create a new tag for this purpose. In the comments, Monica Cellio suggested that if this happens, we could use [status-pending] analogous to the one for Site Proposals.

I think that whether something is actively being worked on or planned on being worked on is irrelevant to the end user: either way, he doesn't have it yet but will after some indefinite amount of time. So this might as well be subsumed within the "status-planned" tag.
