Having said this, I don't believe the reference to English as a first language was intended with malice. Only Olin can know this for certain, but my impression is that it was intended to soften the English usage advice, by indicating understanding. It appears to have had the opposite effect, which I'...

I have 2 issues with the mention of English in this answer:
1. We don't have a requirement that a post's English have any particular minimum quality. We have the ability to edit each other's posts so that we can each add our own respective strengths.
2. English being an author's second language i... (more) |

My main aim with this answer is to avoid losing your future contributions. People don't generally rant about things unless they care.

Your rant wasn't without reason. Even though things have been discussed before, most people arriving new won't know that, and may have similar frustrations to yours. It might be useful as a signpost to existing discussions.
It's up to you whether to delete, edit, or leave it as is. I don't persona... (more) |

Comment flagging broken on mobile portrait mode From a comment thread page, pressing "flag" on a comment results in a pop up panel with a text input and a "Flag" button. On mobile, in portrait mode, this pop up panel overlaps the left hand edge of the screen so that the flag message being typed and the "Flag" button are obscured: Flag pop up pa... (more) |

The posts list for a tag suggests each post has only that tag Clicking on a tag takes you to a page showing the details of the tag, followed by a list of posts bearing that tag. However, each of these posts is shown with only that tag. All other tags on each post are omitted: > Posts tagged bug, each showing only the bug tag This can be confirmed as a bug... (more) |

I like the idea of the labels "Question" and "Answer" (or "Article" - there are a few post types) being at the top of the individual search result.
How would you feel about these only showing in mixed search results? That is, they could be hidden in search results for a specific post type (so if I... (more) |

This answer covers everything except the mention of a preview while editing comments. Even the standard comment editing interface does not yet show a preview, but there is a Meta feature request for one: [Can we have a preview pane for comments?](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/289248). (more) |

| Question | — |
Editor preview for comments 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 therefore look very different from the raw text. Could a preview be added to the comment drafting/edi...

That's an interesting point about service tags. If there are more than one kind of tag maybe we could have tag categories.
For example:
- Topic tags show on a row of their own and can be applied by anyone
- Status tags show on a row of their own and can only be applied by moderators
Tags like... (more) |

There are a few cases where the number of tags is not the problem, just being at the limit is a problem (as it prevents adding a moderator-only tag, a proposal tag, or undeleting a tag). Maybe it would be sufficient to just have a limit for users, and an exception for those 3 cases. (more) |

So there is not necessarily a tag limit per post, but there is a tag limit per user per post. (more) |

Would it help to have a slowly increasing limit like a trust level?
So for example, when a new user joins they can only add 5 tags, but after they gain trust over time they can add 10, and if they don't misuse that they later get 20. (more) |

I wasn't suggesting relaxing the trust requirements entirely.
I wouldn't want to give arbitrary abilities to everyone as soon as they join a community. I was thinking that some actions could be trusted to slightly more people than currently (as the question suggests, but with undo allowing taking ... (more) |

Assessing the 5 tag limit We currently have a limit of 5 tags per question. Should we keep this the same or would any changes be of benefit? For example: - Should the limit be higher or lower? - Should there be different limits for different contexts: - Different communities? - Different categories? - Differe... (more) |

| Comment | Post #289353 |
It's interesting that we're both using the same argument (reduce administrative burden) for opposite opinions. Sounds like this would need careful discussion before deciding where to have undo and where to avoid it.
Note that I'm not suggesting the undo functionality be implemented any time soon. ... (more) |

A: Proposal to ease tag maintenance This is perhaps a longer term solution, with slightly broader scope than the question, but I'm mentioning it for consideration since the question made me think of it. It still makes sense to implement the more specific changes suggested in the question in the meantime. Trust, but implement undo ... (more) |
