If a post uses a Markdown footnote, and then another post on the same page also uses a footnote (such as a question and one of its answers, or 2 answers to the same question), the footnote link goe...
In the vote summary page the votes received for each day are listed (both upvotes and downvotes), and there is also a total next to the date. This allows seeing at a glance how many votes were rece...
In the diff for tags (as seen in a suggested edit, or in the edit history), the tags before editing are shown on the left, and the tags after editing are shown on the right. However, unlike the tex...
October 2024 The user profile now includes the "all communities" tab, which links to all of the user's profiles on the network. Along with each link it shows the total number of posts and rep...
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...
I see there is a number next to each users' name, which in some places is even called "rep". That makes sense. What is mysterious is how it's calculated. My rep makes no sense. I started out wr...
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...
Can the display order of help pages for a site be explicitly set somehow? I'm starting to create help pages for a new site, and would like to set the order they are shown in. For example, I'd like...
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...
I want to offer a more community- and not topic-orientated answer to this question. Basically, you could rephrase the question to discuss any topic. Many topics have vibrant sub-topics. Mathematic...
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...
To answer the original question of how to approach programmer sites, I think a number of important features should be considered. Making relevant versions of OS, programming languages, libraries, ...
We have just pushed some updates related to tags. You will now see a "tags" link in the category bar (next to "posts"), which leads to a searchable list of all tags. Selecting an individual tag t...
I'd like to move Close and Delete to the Tools menu (now that we have that menu). This menu is generated based on what you have the privilege to do, so that's a better place for these items. Doin...
The level of activity of the communities vary. Some are more active than others, which isn't exactly a problem. However, I'm a bit worried when a community becomes significantly less active than ot...
Lessons learnt from the past I've been at SO pretty much from the start. It is true that SO has sub-communities in a sense. Each major programming language (tag) has their own flavour of slightly d...
I have proposed a number of possible solutions. At the moment though, they are grand ideas awaiting both consensus on what to implement and then programmer(s) to actually implement them. Due to oth...
3 points in this proposal: Allow users to review other users' reviews; Display information about reviews on your reviews by others; Allow reviewers to opt out of certain tags if they are not confi...
tl,dr: You need'nt worry about this yet. When we started this project, it was decided, that we wouldn't want a single "reputation" number, but rather finer more specific numbers, such as for exampl...
Currently, when viewing a post, Codidact will show you the raw votes on a post, with the breakdown into upvotes and downvotes: There's been some feedback that this is a bit too much to show, espec...
I agree that on a list of questions, one clear indicator of fitness is most helpful. On a post's own page, it might make more sense to also show the up- and down-vote counts. Given that the "score,...
If we show raw Wilson score I think we're going to see a lot of confusion and questions -- "is 0.65 good?" "what does it take to get to 0.8?" etc. Even if we explain that it's a value from 0 to 1 ...
