Welcome to Codidact Meta!
Codidact Meta is the meta-discussion site for the Codidact community network and the Codidact software. Whether you have bug reports or feature requests, support questions or rule discussions that touch the whole network – this is the site for you.

In the Suggested Edits list page, the time suggested shows as a duration since suggested, such as "2 days ago", but hovering the mouse cursor over it displays the exact datetime: However, in the...
Moderator only tags Another existing feature that might be relevant as part of a solution: some tags can only be added by a moderator, such as "status-completed". If "voltage" is created as a mode...
Examining precedent The Stack Exchange network has the core of this feature: you can write [tag:tag-name] in the body of a question or answer to get a button (really an a tag, just like here) that...
Automatically collect new tags for review As Codidact communities grow, I can see a need to transition smoothly from the norms of a "new" site to those with open, wide participation. Initially, pe...
Currently, the inbox retains notifications for comments that have since been deleted. This is unnecessary, and quite a disappointment when you're eager for a discussion, only to find that the comme...
Comments allow some Markdown features such as numbered and bullet point lists, code blocks, and quote blocks. They also allow MathJax in communities for which it is enabled. A rendered comment can ...
When a comment thread is expanded, the width of the post it is attached to in some cases increases. This seems to be rare (most posts do not change width when their comment threads are expanded), s...
The tag limit is a trade off. If you allow many tags, you have more freedom when tagging, but also you must work harder to clean up unnecessary tags from people who don't know better. That last one...
A site may be effectively dead in terms of new valid contributions. That is unfortunate, and may reflect badly on the rest of the Codidact network. A user visiting Codidact for the first time, may ...
Category settings include some tag settings: Required tags: a set of tags, one of which must be included in a post (this is how discussion, feature-request, bug, and support on meta work) ...
Go ahead and flag the whole comment thread as no longer needed. I'm a moderator on EE, and wouldn't mind receiving such a flag. Maybe some day when site activity gets much higher that might be an...
The exchange that provoked this question, happened on one of my answers. I wrote the response to you, to acknowledge your helpful comment, and to notify you that you were indeed right. In addition...
This is a good suggestion, and I thought "oh, just adding another button there -- that might be easy enough that even I can do it!". And then I realized there's something else we ought to address ...
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 ...
Main suggested change In a suggested edit page there is a “Return to post” button at the top right. This only makes sense when the previous page was the post. When the previous page was the...
I think it would be reasonable to introduce a new tag, "cross-duplicate-candidate" to tag cross-category or cross-community duplicates with until the software is updated to allow closing them. We'r...
When not signed in, the edit button beneath a post is not present: Buttons below a post when not signed in Buttons below a post when signed in The problem This means that to edit an...
When a 2FA code is requested, the input box is not active, so the user has to click on or tab to the input box before they can type the code. It would be more convenient if the "Code" input ...
The "Sign Up" and "Sign In" buttons at the top right of the page (when not signed in) have a different mouse cursor when hovered over. The mouse cursor changes to a pointing hand and the style of t...
A step toward this: if you choose "copy link" on a top-level post, you now have two options, the raw link and a Markdown version. The Markdown version uses the post title as the link text. So it'...
As noted in Mithical's answer, the forum was for early bootstrapping, before we had this network up and running. It used .org, not .com, to try to make that distinction a little clearer. After we...
I don't think it should be called spam. Spam, in the strict sense, is large-volume, unwanted commercial advertisement. For example, if I go to every question tagged Python and reply "Click here to ...
When you submit a flag we don't refresh the page, and so when you flag again the flag modal doesn't "know" about your previous flag yet. After a refresh, you'll get the "you've previously flagged ...
The Policy and Legal sections in the Help Center are policies set by the providers of the network -- in this case, the Codidact Foundation. The Qpixel repository includes "stubs" for these pages f...
The challenge with making modals appear above if there's not room below is that they might then cover important content. If this happened to the Flag modal, for example, it might cover most of the...
