Early for the Codidact sites, it seemed like importing content from SE might be a good way to get a new site going quickly. Now with the clarity of hindsight, we can see that this didn't work. Th...
Afaict, the benefit of a grace period is minimal — (a) that people can avoid the very slight embarrassment that comes with having to edit a post immediately after doing so, and (b) that if someone ...
I disagree. I think the users involved in the vote should be the users who are already involved in Meta.CD or the meta of a given community site. Just like each community has its own set of convent...
The reason is quite simple. We don't have enough people for more than one community. Also, a lot of people interested in one language are already bilingual or are interested in more than one langua...
Basically, the title. See the table of contents on https://meta.codidact.com/questions/278967.
I'm getting this error pop up when I try to close vote a question.
A sort of a solution to this problem, but would also apply to posts such as moderator elections, one-off proposals (though status-complete also works), and just generally posts which at some point ...
In this particular case, I would be inclined to disagree: the question has been answered before. It's just that the answer is actually given in a comment and a tag, not an answer post. "Can we get...
I suggest adding some format to question (and answer) Posting tips section so that instead, for example: Questions get better answers if they are specific and clearly written. Feature requests ...
There are some good reasons to prevent question deletion when answers exist. There are users that believe the correct course of action is to "clean up" their instance of communication on the site, ...
For a QA site to be good, it's important to have high-quality questions. The community is a great resource for guiding askers with the technical tools that CD provides. However, it is helpful for t...
Comments below posts are grouped into threads, each of which can have a meaningful name so several different conversations can happen in parallel with less risk of confusion. However, sometimes th...
It could be cool to have more accessible chatting for all posts. What if there were a sidebar on every post where there was always a live chat? Unlike SE, you never need to specifically create and ...
Would there ever be a scenario where an experimental feature is tried out with a smaller cohort of users in order to observe the resulting dynamics and compare it to the alternative? I mean more t...
What? Attached below is a self-explanatory GIF of the bug. The cross button, instead of removing all the tags, just shifts the focus to the input box. Where? New question page (Link to Codi...
Stack Overflow's help section offers the following guidance for its meta site: Voting is different on meta. Like normal Stack Exchange sites, Meta allows members to vote on questions and answer...
Now having a dot next to the "Edits" button to indicate pending edits brings up a new issue. It seems everyone is notified of all pending edits, whether they have the ability to approve them or no...
I ask as general reference. I compare with UK corporations, as Codidact are "incorporated in the United Kingdom as a Community Interest Company (CIC), with plans to become a Charitable Incorporated...
Moderators are flawed These volunteers give their time freely and deal with more difficult situations behind the scenes than most users realise. However, as much as I respect and deeply appreciate...
I prefer no border for general images I would not want every image to be surrounded by a border. Images are added for many reasons, and in many cases a border would not be wanted. For example, a b...
Prompted by comments in this comment thread - I agree that it's often very difficult to get feedback from new users in the meta area of a community, especially one that has custom software on top o...
When uploading an image on a Codidact community, users are prompted to add alt text - a text alternative to an image - for that image. If they go to submit a post without doing so, or when submitti...
Currently, those users that know the least about tag policy are the ones generally creating tags. New users shouldn't be allowed to create tags arbitrarily. It takes some experience with the site...
It should be a flag. If a post needs author attention, then it's not ready to be answered and should be closed. Until we get a better close mechanism, this is the only way ordinary users can cont...
