Thanks for the report - it looks like that step was missed when setting up those communities for whatever reason. I've gone and updated the site settings for both Outdoors and Proposals and they sh...
Currently, when pasting a link to somewhere on Codidact, into posts or comments, the link is rendered in the output the same way it's written in the post source; that is, the URL. The parser should...
git is a subtag of version-control, and so it's listed under it instead.
I just managed to flag the same post for spam twice. I flagged it, then commented on it, then flagged it again. There are now two separate spam flags on it in my flag history. This is potentiall...
Why show scores at all? When I was at Stack Exchange, we spent a good deal of time discussing sort orders in the context of obsolete answers. One suggestion was to change the sort order to use Wil...
While this question is of particular interest to the technical sites, and especially to Software, it concerns core site functionality. I figured it would be more polite to ask than to make a "sandb...
To answer the question of what the behavior is: in a dev environment, I created a post with two code blocks, one containing spaces and one containing tabs. I couldn't just type the tabs into the p...
When collecting feedback, it helps to reduce barriers as much as possible. A common (and useful) technique is to have a little popup asking for a rating. Usually this is a Likert scale with a promp...
This looks like it's completed now, since the image reference in my question (and the help center) points to a chart beginning with zeroes. Very helpful, thank you.
I'm looking for specific information in the Help Center. (In this case, I want to learn more about comments, but I don't think there's an article for them just yet.) One useful tool on many help pa...
It's common to hear comments about QA sites being "cluttered", "clogged", "spammed" etc. with types of questions that the commenter doesn't want. What does this actually mean? Is there a definitio...
I want to question the premise of this question. In the title, you wrote: Is it okay to ask a question because you're too lazy/bored to figure it out yourself? but in the question body, you ...
We have a change pending to remove this non-flag from the flag list. (There's a story there that I'll get back to.) To the point raised in another answer, people can still use "other" to request ...
Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day. Then tomorrow, he'll ask for another fish. And you give it to him then too, so he comes back the next day. And the next. And at some point it's no longer...
Thanks for the report. The approval failed because the edit added a moderator-only tag -- default-rules on Code Golf, like the status-* tags, can only be added by moderators. But they can be sugg...
Shouldn't I be allowed to accept an edit to my own post? Now here I can't, because the suggested edit adds a tag that I am not allowed to add. Other edits are also not possible (because it asks fi...
We don't have a form, but you can email us to request this. From the privacy policy: As an international organisation, we extend the rights granted by the EU GDPR to everyone. Therefore, all ou...
I think there's nothing wrong with a community deciding to be multilingual or non-English monolingual, but given the impacts on moderation requirements, site technology, usage patterns, etc., I thi...
It is worth noting that we don't need to have the thread be deleted. Threads on Codidact can be locked and archived. Archived threads are still available for viewing, but cannot be commented on[1] ...
It would be bad to prevent deleting questions by simply commenting on them, because the comments could point out why the question actually can't be salvaged from OP's perspective. Currently, commen...
One answer per choice works pretty well. Check out how we rolled out proposals for scope at Software Development: https://software.codidact.com/posts/278648 There we went by voting, consensus can ...
The approach of one answer per option has another benefit: someone might think of something else, or propose a refinement of an existing option. I recommend that approach -- describe the problem i...
This is one of the things that seemed like a good idea at the time, but now is known to be extremely confusing, with many people asking whether it raises a flag or not (it doesn't). Therefore, thi...
During my effort at building structure and content in the EE.CD tags pages, I found myself often wanting a way to list all the tags in alphabetic order, regardless of their status or their place in...
I think this also depends on the community, so I suggest changing the limit at the community level instead of having a limit across all the Codidact communities. For the specific case of Software ...
