Add a way to change the flag reasons for a community In the mod tools, we can change the close reasons. This is helpful when a community possibly needs more or less than normal. However, there isn't a way to change the flags, which means that we might close reasons that don't have a relevant flag to them. Of course, the "other" flag exists, but it w... (more) |

Comment link from activity page uses both answer and comment id in link After commenting on an answer, the "more" link to the comment from the activity page on the user profile uses both the answer id and the comment id. For example, this link: https://meta.codidact.com/posts/280005#answer-280011#comment-7785 The above link doesn't scroll to the comment like it sho... (more) |

A: Why can't I upload pictures from a link? You can use markdown formatting to directly link the image, like so: ```markdown alt text ``` E.g. ```markdown alt text ``` becomes alt text (Andonier, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia Commons) This will not upload the image to Codidact, merely link it, but it should be good enoug...

Add a link to the dashboard somewhere I realized that the dashboard isn't particularly easy to find for new people, which is a shame since it's pretty useful. (It shows which communities have new activity at a glance, handy for those in multiple like me). Could we have a link to it somewhere? Perhaps a button in the top bar, or as a ... (more) |

Add more context in the community ads Recently, I saw this promoted post:  I feel like the way it's presented is less than ideal, since 1. It makes no sense out of context (Photo Contest) 2. It's not a question, so calling it one only confuses viewers more While th... (more) |

A: How can we improve community proposals? My three cents > the point is that if supporters "register" somehow, then we know whom to contact and could do it with automation rather than hand-written comment pings. This would essentially be solved by being able to subscribe to a specific post. > I don't know if there is still a meanin... (more) |

Suggested Edit comment isn't in post history I recently had one of my suggested edits approved. However, the edit comment doesn't appear on the post history for that post.

A: Should there be a community here for Linux users? Scope: Should WSL be on-topic? I'd say yes, because it is (technically) Linux, but there might be some peculiarities specific to WSL that would make it too far removed from being a 'Linux' question (e.g. I've seen a lot of WSL bugs ending up being "Microsoft hasn't implemented that functionality y...

Sort by activity actually sorts by age instead Basically the title. When sorting answers by "Active" (what the button says), it actually sorts by age. (It even puts `?sort=age` in the URL.)

Featured link doesn't appear in the mod tools So, I featured a link on Languages & Linguistics. However, I made it appear globally by accident (I expected it to be local, and it didn't prompt me whether I wanted it to be local or not so I assumed).

A: Ability to set tables to be collapsed? For now, as a workaround, you can use `detail` tags to create collapsible sections (I've also used this to hide large images).

Can we get a queue for pending suggested edits?

Discrepancy between abilities and privilege page On the abilities page for a moderator/admin (ex.

You can suggest more than five tags (but it can't be approved) See suggested edit https://languages.codidact.com/posts/suggested-edit/221 Though it doesn't appear on it, my suggested edit apparently included more than five tags, which isn't allowed.

A: Separate Languages from Linguistics? The reason is quite simple. We don't have enough people for more than one community.

Secondly, I thin... (more) |

Confusing behavior of tags shared between categories Over on Software, Q&A and Code Review share the same tags.
