Related: Incubator (takes all questions that aren't ontopic anywhere else) community We currently use posts in the Site Proposals category to organize proposals for new communities on our networ...
We've just released a new feature that allows for redaction of revision histories. This feature was originally developed by @Taeir for use in his university's private instance in order to redact c...
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 ...
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...
Examining precedent The Stack Exchange network has the core of this feature: you can write [tag:tag-name] in the body of a question or answer to get a button (really an a tag, just like here) that...
Automatically collect new tags for review As Codidact communities grow, I can see a need to transition smoothly from the norms of a "new" site to those with open, wide participation. Initially, pe...
My answers would be that: It's okay to ask here even if the answer is readily available elsewhere There is no minimum level of research, beyond ensuring it's clear what's being asked It is not...
That could get noisy if it were the default behavior. But maybe we should consider, instead, an option where you can choose to be notified of new activity on a specific post. We already have an o...
I'd like for communities to be able to opt in to a feature that shadowbans new accounts for a brief period of time. Moderators should be able to release accounts from the shadowban manually; they s...
Make Codidact a helpful place. The most basic reason why people use a QA site is because they want help. Specifically, they have a question and want it answered quickly and usefully. "Quickly" ca...
Add a list of standard close reasons to the help center. It must include the full list of shared close reasons (those that exist across all CD sites), as well as any additional standard close reaso...
The "General comments" title is a left-over from earlier versions of the software that didn't have comment titles. When the threaded comments were introduced, and thread titles with them, existing...
I would argue that this feature should be opt out, rather than opt in. That is, everyone should receive email for their notifications (answers to their questions or comments on their posts) unless ...
At last we are getting to addressing the elephant in the room head-on. Lundin and Olin's answers both capture ideas that I feel are very important, that apply to varying extents across Codidact. I'...
The quality over everything and running the noobs off users have had their way for years at this point and nothing to show for it. In the past year, Photography has had 2 questions, Outdoors 8. No...
IMHO we need to distinguish two things: It's not really possible per se to prevent for-profit companies from just accessing our web pages and downloading the content from them. We can try to ...
I opened the web inspector and made a quick sketch of how I think these sections can be improved. The changes include removing the border, setting a background colour, lowering the weight of the su...
This would make zero functional change to URLs. It's purely cosmetic. A link to a post on Codidact often contains no user-readable information about what awaits at the destination. When I find lin...
I think that a lot of the current approach mostly works. Once you've gotten here, if you have an interest in other topics, then you'll find the incubator. If you haven't gotten here or don't have...
Outdoors.SE has had some interest in moving away from SE, https://outdoors.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1611/what-is-status-of-efforts-that-were-started-during-the-mess-to-create-a-new-patf ...
I clicked on "edit" on a post, and received the following message: Forbidden You have been denied access to this resource because you lack the necessary privileges to access it. Once you gain e...
I'm not sure this, as suggested, would be a good idea. I fully understand what you're getting at, but I think it would have undesirable, and also likely unintended, consequences. This is a slight...
Where is the documentation for the markdown codes used on these pages? I'm trying to RTFM, but can't find the M. I did look in HELP, but it's not there. Below where I'm typing this, there is a b...
I've had some thoughts about this, which I'll try to coalesce into something resembling an answer. Codidact is growing, but we're still a small project. To help us grow, we're looking to build act...
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...
