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) |

Well, thanks for clarifying the situation here; that's useful, and does put these cases in a slightly different light. However, I still disagree with the reason you described in the review comments, as well as these parts:

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) |

Probably not intentional, so [tag:bug] would probably be a more reasonable tag for this than [tag:discussion]. (more) |

Switch it off ***in*** the question list? What question list do you mean? The front page? The search page? In that case, you've misunderstood the scope of my request, but I do agree havi... (more) |

Quoting myself:
> (can't think of a better way to suggest tag merges that is possible with today's tools (except for in chat))
Well, creating a post on meta, is another option, but I prefer to avoid it for really trivial cases that are obviously trivial beyond any reasonable doubt. (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.
I'd like to put forth an example: just now, I flagged one of my own posts to request a tag merge (can't think of a better way... (more) |

Category activity indicator is lit for one's own activity When new posts are submitted to a category, a small circle is displayed next to the category's name, within its tab in the category bar. This activity indicator is displayed even when the only new activity is your own posts. That shouldn't happen. It's possibly not worth it to spend resources at c... (more) |

| Question | — |
List all duplicates for a question on the target question's page Currently when viewing a post, there is no indication that it's being used as a duplicate target. As a curator, it's useful information to me that when I view a question, I am also informed if any other posts are linked to it as a duplicate. As such, I'd also want easy access to these posts. ...

Codidact isn't a discussion forum, so while comments _can_ be used for extended discussion, such a discussion serves little purpose to the network. Comments should be used primarily for post feedback and criticism (main categories, meta somewhat excluded). Any other useful information that arises in ... (more) |

Eh, I'm a bit confused here. By "cleaning them up", I'd assume you mean to delete comments/archive threads. But then you go on to mention voting on comments, editing, etc, etc. There's too much in this post. You'll either have to split it up (in which case existing duplicates are around), or dive dee...

@#8082 Can each community choose entirely themselves which licenses to allow, or are they limited by a shared set?

@#53890 Both; which is one reason I'm in support for better layouting and functionality overall, on the editor page, but that's a separate concern. The preview exists so you can read through the post as it will be displayed, which is what I'm using it for. I often find typos when reading it, and I al... (more) |

A: How do we want to organize the help center? Right now, the help center is structured with a main landing page with sections containing lists of specific help content, with each of these contents being on specific pages (example). That's fine, and I suggest keeping the design mostly as is. However, on each specific page, the sidebar should be r... (more) |

Maybe you as the post author wants a discussion, but nobody else does. People don’t visit Q/As for discussions, but for answers. That’s why we make them clear and isolated, and why we have strict rules, to maximise their usefulness to later visitors. (more) |

A forum implies discussion to be a goal. Sure, we discuss the site itself on Metas, that’s one of the goals, and why we even have a tag for it here, but that’s it. There’s a big difference between Q/A and forums. Our Q/As (excluding Metas), are supposed to be direct, fluff-free, and with no discussio... (more) |

If there are too many incentives, people will abuse the system only to get the rewards. If you’re skeptical, go see what experiences SE had with their Documentation experiment. Even then, there’s a bunch of examples of people already abusing the existing systems for rewards. (more) |
