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...
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 ...
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) ...
Show score on the horizontal score bar. When I started browsing first time I didn't know what the horizontal bar with green stripe in it is for. Took a while to figure out it is score. Wouldn't it ...
Can you add the Wilson Score tooltip from posts onto list pages as well? Either on the vote numbers, on the colored bar, or on both?
The Edit Tags ability says How do I earn this ability? To earn this ability, you need to have roughly a 97.5% approval rate for suggested edits to either the detailed tag wiki or the usage guid...
There are sometimes unfortunate differences in the preview and final rendering, due to having to use different libraries for client-side and server-side rendering. I don't know if there's anything...
Thanks to Moshi, we now have some checks in the editor, so you'll now get a message about unsupported elements.
We've added some better guidance in the UI, including the score ranges (0-1) and a link to the scoring help. The layout isn't as nice as it would be if the work had been done by someone with a dee...
We have removed the "needs author's attention" flag, which I believe addresses the remaining issues raised here. Marking status-complete; please let us know if we missed anything.
When I click flag there is a menu that shows up showing the reasons, like spam, rude, needs author's attention, etc. But how can I close the menu without refreshing the page? I do not see an 'X' wi...
With many different Codidact communities and more being proposed, along with other organisations that have their own instances of the QPixel software, it seems unlikely that any single one of these...
Expected behaviour for different users My expectation is the same as in the question when a user is unable to see deleted posts. Sometimes a user can see a deleted post (such as when the user is ...
Maybe when our communities are much larger I share the others' concerns about getting fresh eyes on edits to avoid abuse (or even just errors that would motivate a re-edit). As things stand, I thi...
