| Question | — |
Mark cross-duplicates with tags until cross-closing is available 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're already identifying these posts now, and it's wasted resources to leave them to be forgotten. If we ha... (more) |

Suggested edit: Rewrite of the post to clarify. It's based on the information in one of the comment threads. This post would be an ideal duplicate of a feature request asking for a network profile, but it seems as if none exist so far. (more) |

Do you specifically mean a network-wide search that can filter per user, or a network-wide profile for _viewing_ per-user activity across all sites? (more) |

A great way to mitigate this issue is to simply stop automatically loading pages so much. For instance when I create a new comment thread, with a comment in it. Why does that reload the page? It shouldn't. (more) |

You'll see it's one and the same person that's been declining your edits, while staff members of Codidact have been accepting them. That said, staff members opting to do it that way, isn't much of an argument in itself, as this is a (somewhat) democratic community-driven platform. My answer stating t... (more) |

@#65178 I'm not so sure why you'd be getting that mentality from SO, where there's a precedent for such edits being acceptable. Are you sure the problem isn't that you actually just made edits to low-quality posts? If a post is headed for deletion anyway, there's no point in sending edits of it to re... (more) |

I've gone ahead and upvoted your post, as you bring forward some important arguments for your edits, but I must dissent with these parts:
> I believe that submitting an edit just for removing or adding a tag is not enough.
> I would have also opposed an edit for just some normal tags.

Not entirely. Spammers sometimes post spam seeds; these are seemingly innocent posts reserved for later pasting in spam by editing them. (more) |

check their reviews. As I also said in the first comment, keep the list of all reviews (sort by most recent date) easily accessible to everyone. In addition, every now and then, submit their reviews for peer-reviews. So, review the review.
In addition, we can also introduce an edit reviewing abil... (more) |

Has happened to me occasionally, so it's definitely a problem. Either you revisit a page that you've been on, which has since been updated (but the updates aren't visible, because you're viewing the cached version), or you end up back on a post editor page, or similar.
The solution is probably to ... (more) |

A: How should we approach large numbers of edits made all at once? The problem with this question, and overall discussion, is that we're only having it because the post activity update system is broken. If we can't make minor edits without causing a lot of disruption on the platform, we have a serious issue, as a curated and maintained repository. We have the tools ... (more) |

A: Minor suggested edits to old posts I strongly oppose the refusal to accept these tag edits. Many of the edits were declined by the same reviewer with similar reasons, namely that "it's not worth bumping posts for silly tags". This is incorrect reviewing. This is an incorrect reason for declining edits. The reason is quite simple: corr... (more) |

It actually _can_ be a big thing. Currently, the requirements for obtaining abilities such as the curator ability, are quite high. One declined flag can make a difference.
