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.

Search

Advanced Search Options

To further refine your search, you can use additional qualifiers such as score:>0.5. For example, the search score:>=0.5 created:<1y grammar would return only posts mentioning "grammar" that have a score >= 0.5 and were created less than a year ago. Use category:<ID> to restrict your search to one category (the ID is what's shown after /categories/ in the URL).

Further help with searching is available in the help center.

Quick hints: tag:tagname, user:xxx, "exact phrase", post_type:xxx, created:<N{d,w,mo,y}, score:>=0.5

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

If you know that a bug or feature request is broader than just your site, it's better to post it on main meta if you can. (Things known to be specific to one site belong on the per-site meta.) Re...

Q&A Should tags be written in American or in British English?

Q&A Can we move questions?

I don't think we should have this feature. In my (limited) experience at Stack Exchange, when people suggest moves to other sites they, by and large, do not know the proposed recipient site's mores...

Q&A Remove parent tags from a post where a child tag is present

It's not always correct to remove a parent tag, and therefore such removal should probably not be done automatedly — or, at least, if it is done automatedly, should be sensitive to human interventi...
