I believe that this is actually intentional and not a bug, because these pages serve different purposes. The /abilities page shows the abilities you can earn through your usage of the community. T...
When a user is mentioned in a comment thread using @, internally the user is referred to by their user id number. The comment is displayed using their user name, but the user id behind the scenes m...
If you edit a ping into a comment and that user is not already following the thread, we now send a notification. We don't want to send multiple notifications and we can't easily withdraw the alrea...
Now that we have filters, we should remove the native button and add a toggle for native (non-imported) posts to the filter options. As you point out, "native" is not, logically speaking, a sort b...
I was in the middle of drafting a very similar Meta question when I noticed this one had just been posted. I will instead post my thoughts here as an answer, to prompt further discussion. I see the...
You can find all the flags you've raised, their text, current status, and moderator response. Click on your profile in the top right corner. Then in the lower right of that you'll see "Flags rais...
View counts are a measure of the importance of a post to the site. A question that's viewed a lot should be prioritized by curators, because it's likely to be viewed proportionately often in the fu...
Describe the bug After deleting an answer(s), the table of contents can still be displayed even if there are less answers than the "number of answers to trigger the TOC" and even if there is no an...
One advantage of threaded comments is that the exchange isn't in anybody's way. If User A posts, User B comments, User A says "thanks, fixed", and nothing else happens, no harm done. If that's th...
Now that there is a separate Proposals site with its own Meta and other categories, that would seem to qualify as a separate "Codidact Community" which should be listed among the "Other Codidact Co...
Currently the old Site Proposals category points to the new Proposals community, presumably as a temporary measure until people get used to the new community. This is not ideal, as described in the...
Regarding the "5 second google" part: We did discuss this very thing at some point over at Software Development Questions easily answered by studying a beginner-level book. There were lots of dive...
Your question is unclearly written. I'm not sure what your "assertion about the importance of a 'mature understanding' being desirable" specifically refers to. My guess is the assertion "it is help...
By my understanding, one of the key features of the Codidact network is that individual communities are more in control of their local policies. In particular, it appears that community moderators ...
Yes, we need to clean things up For a Q&A site to come across as useful, the chaff simply needs to be separated from the wheat. We can't expect external search engines to care about our intern...
A preferences problem highlighted in an answer on Software Development Meta appears to have been somewhat fixed, but leaving an inconsistency with the guidance on the preferences page. At the top ...
I noticed an anomaly when I went to edit a question. The tags in the display mode don't match the tags in the edit mode. I didn't change the tags, that's how they initialized when I opened the ed...
I think saving the text even when closing a window is good, we should just change the explanation to Changes are automatically saved
I added a filter to exclude [tag:status-launched] and then sorted by score. I was redirected to https://meta.codidact.com/categories/10?predefined_filter=&min_score=&max_score=&min_answ...
This is a step in the right direction, but I think the new system will still have a few problems: Mixing all the question for all the proposals together in a single category will be quite off-putt...
Most of the time, any logged-in user can post a new top-level post (question, article, maybe other types). Categories can restrict this posting access, however. For example, on the Meta blog, onl...
As Monica already explained, making the software open-source does a lot to reduce the barrier to entry for competitors. This provides both an escape hatch in case Codidact does end up following SX,...
After a moderator has deleted an answer, it looks like this to the poster of the answer: If the poster of the answer clicks on "Restore", the action is prevented, and a message is shown at the t...
Writing and Outdoors both originally imported content from Stack Exchange, which was licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0[1]. As such, they needed to have that license available on those posts. Since then,...
After signing in the user is taken to the home page of the community from which they signed in (so, the Q&A posts tab here on Codidact Meta). This means that if I am reading a question and dec...
