Comment Post #290326 If there's a question that has only attracted poor answers, and the top one is +0-2 (or +1-6 or whatever), "Wow! Rank #1" is kind of misleading. If you mean "rank" meaning "cohort" like Isaac's pentiles, I'm interested. But if you mean `RANK() OVER (ORDER BY upvotes - downvotes)`, I don't want that.

Question Tag and children missing from tag hierarchy pages
I was on the Software Dev CD tag page, clicking through the pages of the "Hierarchy" sort. I wanted to see if there were `git-` tags that are not nested under the `git` tag.[^1] Surprisingly, I discovered on page 4 where I expected to see all the `git` ones that `git` itself was not listed at all!...

Question Add score tooltip on list pages
Can you add the Wilson Score tooltip from posts onto list pages as well? Either on the vote numbers, on the colored bar, or on both?

Comment Post #290056 For GitHub links, do you specifically mean links to the `codidact` organization's resources, or any GH link? I'm imaging the former, but your comment could be interpreted either way.

Answer A: Improved UI for filtering posts on score
I like that idea. I imagine it something like this: ``` (0.3) ( 1 ) v v |--------|--------| (red) (green) ``` I think the full red and green segments can stay colored no matter where you drag the sliders. It'd be easier to make and about the s...

Question Missing "Participate" ability on one community
My Outdoors profile is bugged. I don't have any Abilities awarded&mdash;not even Participate&mdash;although I have been able to make posts and suggest edits. I finally decided it was actually bugged when I tried to click the link on > &#10060; You have not yet earned this ability. (more) to ...

Comment Post #290048 Awesome. Thanks for your patience with a newcomer! I like the Wilson score measure; I just didn't realize it was used for more than sorting.

Can the Scoring help page's sample chart start at 0 votes instead of 1? Lots of posts probably have no votes or only up or down votes. chart

Comment Post #288102 It might be helpful to link out to the [Score help page](https://meta.codidact.com/help/scoring) in the score labels to [help people understand](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/290048) that it's the Wilson Score, not the net votes. Maybe also helpful for old hands to see the nicely colored chart of s...

Answer A: Filters don't allow negative Min Score
"Score" isn't net votes. It's the Wilson Score, where 0.5 is the midpoint. See Codidact's scoring help page.

Question Filters don't allow negative Min Score
I'm trying to make a filter for "Not that negative" posts, imagining "Net score > -2," but the UI of the filter creator only lets you put in Min Score between 0 and 1, with a step size on the spinner of 0.01. ```html Min Score ``` Maybe I misunderstand what "Score" means? Is it not ...
