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 Most reputations dropped by 1 (maybe the "starter" 1 rep disappeared for people who had more)

The recent database update included a reputation recalculation. Reputation doesn't mean as much as it used to (it doesn't govern abilities any more), but it's still present and visible. In the re...

Q&A Most reputations dropped by 1 (maybe the "starter" 1 rep disappeared for people who had more)

A rep recalculation restored the 1 point to everybody. Whether accounts should start at 1 or 0 is a separate question, but they're now consistent again.

Q&A No button to edit or suggest edits on articles

Fixed, thanks! The system was actually working exactly as designed, but articles were marked as not being publicly editable. I've flipped that over again now, so you should see links as normal.
