Comment Post #292808 I expect this could be made fairer by making it more complex, but personally I would lean towards keeping it as simple as possible while still taking into account both aspects (last 3 months and last 30 events). Wilson score is not immediately intuitive for most people, but the extra complexity is wo...

Comment Post #292808 This means that on a low traffic community 3 months may not be long enough to get 30 events, so gaining the ability may take longer than 3 months. Similarly on a high traffic community you can't get the ability in a day just because you were able to process 30 events in a day (which means spammers...

Comment Post #292808 We could base this on both proportion of events in a timeframe, and proportion of events in the last N events. I'll use concrete numbers because I find that clearer, but these are just examples - the actual numbers could be different (and different per community): > In order to gain this ability, ...

Answer A: Do we need templates for new posts?
Proposals When proposing a new Codidact community, there is a proposal template but it is a separate page in the help system, provided as a link from the top of the new post page in the Descriptions category. Rather than needing to follow the link, copy the template, and then paste it into the pre...

Comment Post #292771 Whichever type of improvement you are seeking, I hope the downvotes don't put you off from providing more details (whether publicly or privately). Even if the change can't be made immediately with Codidact's limited resources, longer term it is likely to help many people.

Comment Post #292771 It could be made clearer by providing context for the 2 quotations. I can guess that it is the second quotation that is from the Equality Act 2010, but labelling each block would remove the need for guesswork. The question could also be more specific, but I understand that it may be deliberately v...

Hopefully the upvotes on [Monica's answer](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/292771/292772#answer-292772) make it clear that the community is in favour of making Codidact accessible, and continuing to impro...

Comment Post #292676 Sounds good for consistency with the title and body diffs. It might need to be slightly larger than those to avoid being obscured by the styling of the tag boxes, as some of those already have a red background and red border. Also, red and green might be an accessibility problem, but that's a sepa...

Question Highlighting for tag diffs
In the diff for tags (as seen in a suggested edit, or in the edit history), the tags before editing are shown on the left, and the tags after editing are shown on the right. However, unlike the text diffs for the title and body, the diff for the tags shows no indication of which tags were removed, an...

Comment Post #292656 I wasn't imagining filters on the main profile page (where only the top 15 posts are displayed). I'm only suggesting filters for the page that shows [all of a user's posts](https://meta.codidact.com/users/53890/posts).

Question Filters for a user's posts
A user's profile page shows their top 15 posts, with a button to see all. This page showing all of a user's posts is just like the questions list or search results, with pagination if there are too many posts for one page, and buttons to change the ordering. Could this page showing all of a user's...

Question Message hidden at top of screen: You cannot restore this post deleted by a moderator
If a moderator deletes an answer, and the author of the answer tries to restore it, a notice is added to the top of the page saying "You cannot restore this post deleted by a moderator", but the URL is the answer URL, with an id which causes scrolling to the answer, so the notice at the top of the pa...

Comment Post #292614 :) All of mine were small CSS changes in the browser developer window. I imagine they would be small changes to Co-Design, and I expect yours would be too. Would be good to hear from someone more familiar with it, but I would be surprised if code were an obstacle here.

Comment Post #292614 My favourite of mine is the last one in principle. In practice I'd make it a much less pronounced colour, and reduce it to a fine line rather than a wide area of colour. Yours also has my upvote. I'd be happy with either.

Answer A: It should be more clear what comment an attribution belongs to
I altered a few settings to give some options. None of these are finished but should hopefully give starting points for further discussion of which things to change and how much. The effects are exaggerated for ease of discussion, but could be made more subtle once an approach is settled on. Curre...

Comment Post #292613 If you zoom right in, you can see that the line above the username is slightly darker. The fact that I need to zoom in to be sure there is a difference shows that this could benefit from being more distinct. A thicker line and a bigger colour difference would help.

Comment Post #292601 If this goes ahead, I like the idea of the founder(s) having generous abilities at the start, to get things moving quickly.

Comment Post #292600 The filters section already has a box "Predefined Filters" but I couldn't tell whether moderators are currently able to add to this.

Comment Post #292600 It sounds like you would like 2 things: 1. Improvements to filters for all communities (not just Proposals). 2. Customisation of the filters for Proposals. I'm in favour of 1. I'm not against 2, but I wonder if the general filters (before or after the improvements in 1) could be used to give ...

Comment Post #292601 The current Proposals community was intended to avoid creating new communities before they are ready, which end up with almost zero activity.

Comment Post #292530 I like the idea of scrolling the page slightly. If that causes any problems in usability or implementability an alternative could be to change the wording from "Copy Link" to "Choose Type" (or something better), reverting to "Copy Link" once the dialogue box has been closed. This could potentially...
