Background Starting new sites here at Codidact has evolved over time, mostly as we got experience and realized we needed to do something different. Originally, new sites would be proposed here on...
I've noticed that the photography.codidact meta tagging system differs from what seems more conventional. For example, it appears that there no tags are mandatory (here at least one of [bug] [featu...
One of the benefits of Codidact is that each community can use tags in the way that best supports their community. For example, Judaism supports hierarchical tagging for references, different tagse...
I was just informed I've reached my daily voting limit. I didn't know Codidact had a voting limit. Why is there a voting limit?
Usually, maximum length of post body is 30,000 characters. And, maximum length of post title is 250 characters. Reported here. Length of thread title is also 250 characters. I was thinking, "Should...
You will now see a length indicator for post titles, post bodies, and thread titles when you're approaching the limit. (I'm not real sure from reading the code, but I think it shows up when you ge...
1. Limiting people who can create and vote on proposals Besides everything, this is great. First, I suggest making a limit [1] for people who can propose proposals. [2] Because before suggesting n...
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 ...
When flagging a post as "Needs author's attention", the interface provides a single-line text entry field for "Details?", which does not allow for newlines. Input text scrolls without any clear ind...
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...
Here is a example. In the preview I'm seeing the markup text instead of the picture. Now I'll post it and see what it looks like then. ![Image alt text](https://meta.codidact.com/uploads/Bz9g6C...
I wrote a question which I tagged, only to see a few seconds later that I accidentally tagged the question with the wrong tag. So I revised it. This how the history of my question looks: As you ca...
I noticed that How can I shorten a piece of writing without losing its original essence? on Writing Codidact appeared to be tagged writing-instruments, but the question does not relate to writing i...
It is the logical place for adding it. Based on experience elsewhere, I have long suspected that thinking up a Title after the body of a Q has been written is likely to lead to better quality Title...
When You have the keyboard shortcuts menu open while asking a question1, the "tag" bar is on top of it Since this is only a problem in this uncommon situation, it doesn't have to take priority ...
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...
A tag on the community meta should reflect the status as experienced by the community. A change in tag should communicate a change in experience. This allows users to provide feedback (it's working...
I think that if the tag has a (long- or short-form) description then it should not be automatically deleted. I can imagine a case where some enterprising soul writes descriptions for every conceiva...
I would like to offer a third alternative. Don't make post-bumping edits in bulk. I don't know the process that led up to those posts being retagged the way they were just now, but I strongly suspe...
If you'll allow me to come up with a made-up dystopia community scenario: Suppose you are a professional carpenter who like to discuss your trade with other professionals. So you start a carpentry ...
Meaning of the status-declined tag is clear in case of feature request, bug type of question or, even, flags. But "discussion"? It's confusing. Context: Voluntariness vs. Responsibility, which of t...
I wasn't the one who added the tag, and I didn't handle the flag. But the way I see it, the [status-declined] tag was added specifically because of this line: The Codidact community team have acce...
Over on Software, Q&A and Code Review share the same tags. While this is really helpful since it makes tag parity easy, it also produces some weird behavior. For instance, at the moment the sit...
They don't. Linguistics is one site. Its site ID is 12. It has three categories - Q&A, Meta, and Resources - with IDs respectively of 36, 37, and 40. Each category has a tag set, which contai...
