Unfortunately, the system won't let me create the tag I wish to make, over at Proposals. Codidact's soul must not be seeing the quality in this tag. Creating it did work when I navigated back to t...
When a user deletes a question they posted, it shows with a notice which includes the following wording: The author of this post decided to delete it. It can only be seen by users with the Curat...
Yes, these options should continue to be active. A bad question is a bad question, and it is legitimate to downvote it because of that. The fact that it might be fixed later has no bearing on it ...

When returning to a draft of a new question which does not yet have any tags added, the "Tags" field shows a single tag consisting of an empty string (a little grey box but with no tag name inside ...
When editing a post, an edit comment can be included that describes the changes that were made. Where the reason for an edit is not obvious, this comment can include an explanation. I recently not...
I wondered what the scope of the Linux Systems site was. So I went to the help center. There's no obvious page in there that explains what this site is. For instance, is this site accepting questi...
When you start to flag a post that you have active flags on already, you now see something like this:
I have been noticing a lot more unexplained activity bumps too lately. I thought it was because spam or whatever got deleted, and I couldn't see those deletions as an ordinary user. However, this...
The Site Proposals category is only shown to logged-in users, the text at the top points to the new proposals site, the "post" button says "not here" and refers to the new site, and if you try to p...
Sometimes a brain dump is a bunch of questions and answers, and in that case (as suggested in another answer) it's best to do the "dump + refine" step separately and post when ready. That way peop...
When new posts are submitted to a category, a small circle is displayed next to the category's name, within its tab in the category bar. This activity indicator is displayed even when the only new...
Have a look at this Codidact Meta post. It is closed. Scrolling down we can see a UI like so: When there are 0 answers, then the option to sort them by score/activity doesn't have any use. Als...
Thanks for spotting this. I've just checked and the typo is also present in the database seed that is used for setting up new communities, so it needs to be fixed there too to avoid this happening ...
When looking at the Abilities dashboard of another user and clicking on any ability, for example the curate ability page of a mod looks like (I replaced the actual mod name with (ModName) for sake ...
This is an example of a comment thread featuring a user mention. When the comment is edited, the user mention element incorrectly turns red. A reload fixes this. Hovering on it shows which...
On the Help Center page "How to ask a great question" (This link points to the Codidact Meta version, but this question talks about all the versions of this page in all other communities, too) Und...
What web development tools were used to build this site? What tools are used to manage it?
Currently, it is possible to set required tags for a category. For example, here on meta it lists as required tags one of: bug, feature-request, discussion or support. For meta, this works pretty ...
I'd like to make charts of user and community stats These could involve a large amount of data as the site grows, so should probably be links to a location that generates them once a day and/or ca...
It's been pointed out in a few places that, so long as creating tags is much easier than managing them, we're going to have problems handling typos, duplicates, and tags that otherwise ought not ex...
The cause of the lost line spacing The raw text of your post is converted to HTML ready to be displayed by your web browser. The text is split into paragraphs based on the presence of blank lines,...
When I use an HTML tag to alter the appearance of a paragraph in a Codidact post, it works but the line spacing is reduced, which I do not want. Why is this? Is there anything I can do about it? E...
The trigger in this case is surrounding text with either $latex$ or \(latex\) for inline math $$latex$$ or \[latex\] for "display math" (centered and on a new line) The MathJax parser is sma...
Intended. Or, more specifically, a special case that we didn't intercept. Reactions are not "baked in"; they're defined by each community. We seed some default ones, but a community can remove t...
