A: No visible response when searching on mobile The filters widget is now collapsed on the search-results page, like it is for categories. This restores the status quo for small viewports, but I've just noticed while verifying this fix that the "advanced search" block still takes a lot of room on my phone. Should we do anything about that? (more) |

A: Should we have a network-wide policy against AI-generated answers? We have posted our default policy for generative-AI content.

If you're using a named filter, either one of the built-in ones or one you created and saved yourself, the name shows up there. So this is an issue specifically for ad-hoc filters. (more) |

| Comment | Post #288181 |
The filter is initially collapsed on the search page, like it is on the category page. It also now appears right above the posts, so the advanced guidance about what you can type into the search textbox is right next to that textbox and the filter widget is next to the posts (like on category lists)...

Oh wait; the filter state doesn't reflect the search; it's the same empty starting point as on the category list. I think expanding it here is unintentional. Search can do things that filters can't, so on reflection, a filter can't be guaranteed to wholly reflect a search query. (more) |

A: Mismatch between search guidance, search help page, and search behaviour for votes and score Thanks for this report. The behavior is powerful; we should update the documentation, not limit search.

Even on a desktop, it feels like there's a lot more stuff on the page before I get to the first search result. Expanding the filter shows how the search was built, which I assume is why it's open by default, but I've been wondering if it should start collapsed too. I hadn't realized it was also ope...

I hadn't thought about the effects of votes, thanks. I think your conclusion is sound; the votes don't matter as much as the discussion around the proposal, and we can always use Meta to focus on specific cases ("what makes this question so great?").

Yes, we've been thinking about the incubator idea for a while, and needed to have filters in place before we proposed it here.

It's a lot easier to use multiple accounts to support a proposal when "support" means "add your name to a list of interested people", and a lot harder when it means "help build a good body of Q&A to show that this community would work".

A: Redundant "Posts" heading on every community in the dashboard There are some additional sections visible only to admins and/or global moderators, which is why the heading exists at all. But you're right: for the vast majority of people, that's the only visible section, so the heading looks odd. I think the solution would be either to only show that heading ... (more) |

According to the [announcement](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/284455), that's possible now. I'm not sure, but it might need an admin assist to turn on reactions for other post types.

A: Allow a user to edit a threaded comment's title after the threaded comment has been created I think it's reasonable for the person who created the thread to be able to edit the title so long as the only comments are from that user. As soon as there's a comment from someone else, though, there's the chance that changing the thread title can affect context for those comments (or even can be ... (more) |

A: Should it be possible to "react" to one's own posts? Good question. A reaction doesn't bestow benefits (reputation, progress toward abilities, or preferential placement on the page), so in one sense reacting to your own post is harmless. On the other hand, it does add an attention-grabbing marker, and it might make sense to restrict that. I've bee... (more) |

A: Split any question post with two or more questions into several posts (per the number of questions) and attribute it to the asker Sometimes several questions are closely related and are best handled as a group, as this answer says.

"Similar" (nice suggestion) and "exact duplicate" seem like useful terms. "Similar" questions would remain answerable; exact duplicates wouldn't.

Thank you for this thoughtful feedback. I like the ideas you're suggesting here.

Let's improve how we handle duplicates Currently, marking a question as a duplicate is part of question closure.

@Wikis sometimes proposals move slowly. What this says to me is that there isn't high interest among the "native" population here, and we'll need to promote the proposal in other places where SF folks hang out. If you're involved in such communities and can do it without violating the norms of thos... (more) |

Thanks for nailing down what I had in my head but couldn't quite formulate: "how interesting are the questions from one area for a person mainly interested in another area?".

How should we approach our (non-developer) software community proposals? We have some software (but not software-development) proposals: - "Superuser-like" community for software applications - office suites - Linux Are these three separate, distinct communities, or should any of them be combined? Office suites strike me as a subset of the kinds of software a... (more) |

A: It is possible to close a question as duplicate to itself. This is fixed now. We know that the error message isn't very informative; we'll try to address that later. But you now get one of those pink pop-up error messages if you try to link a post to itself when closing. We are not yet detecting duplication loops; this is a narrower fix. (more) |

No you shouldn't have deleted it, so no worries there. We have a design for duplicates where, in fact, you would be able to directly mark it as such; we just haven't gotten there yet. In the meantime, flagging is the best way to handle it, which you discovered, so thanks. (more) |

@Jordan I'll give this more thought to flesh it out more, but I think the problem with SE's profit model is that it led them to pursue business that *bypasses* the communities -- they make money by selling private Teams/Enterprise instances or through their jobs business. Aside from SO, which they ne... (more) |

Thank you! That helps. If I understand correctly: economics is more theory/academic and "systems", finance is business-level theory & practice, and accounting is the particular tools & methods used to implement the former. Is that about right? (more) |

A: Rollback Feature for Questions and Answers I agree; "roll back to this version" has been useful on other platforms and I'd like us to have it.

A: Add a more obvious link to the Abilities page Making the "Earned Abilities" heading on the profile page link to the full list (/abilities) seems like a good way to solve this.

Tag sets are per-community, yes. Every community has two tag sets to start, called Main and Meta. Most of our communities that have other categories are using Main on them.

Interesting edge case -- *technically* tags *aren't* per-category but, rather, tags are part of a tag set and each category uses a tag set, *which can be shared*. So, for example, if Software Dev had a Code Review category and it used the same tag set as Q&A, then we'd probably highlight that JavaSc... (more) |

@manassehkatz that JSON file is what we use to publish our community list beyond the sites -- the list on codidact.com, and if you look at TopAnswers you'll see that they include our list of communities just as we include theirs. (more) |

Sometimes the answer to overlap can be different framing, e.g. taking the physics part of the math & physics proposal and forming a natural sciences proposal. (more) |

@MathPhysics I don't want to speak in absolutes. We'll want to *discuss* it and make sure the overlap can be addressed. There can be more than one community for a topic; people just have to be able to tell where to go for what. For example, we wouldn't block a general engineering site because EE e... (more) |

A: Launching a new community with enough contributors even though disagreements exist One of the things we look for in a new site is enough interested participants to make it viable. We now ask people to make their interest known, because votes don't necessarily correlate with intended participation. Sometimes an upvote means "I want this" and sometimes it means "yeah, that sounds l... (more) |

A: Add the ability to customize suspended user profile blurb We don't have a custom reason yet, but there is now a third option: no public reason. This means you don't have to give a wrong reason, even if you can't customize a right reason. (more) |

A: I cannot understand the meaning of some downvotes In an ideal world, bug reports and support requests would be a separate stream from discussions and feature requests. We work with the tools we have, while also working to improve them. (A few people have reported software bugs on GitHub, which is fine too but not something we'd want to require.) ... (more) |

To explain how it got there in this case: someone provided a link to an image in a comment, I wanted to incorporate the image into the answer, and I didn't want to save it just to upload it so I instead used the URL directly. When our image-upload process can accept a URL and not just a file, this p... (more) |

@Zerotime completely my fault; this has grown beyond an idea at this point, has people interested in building it, and needs to flesh out scope some including doing something about the issues raised here. (Scope can be worked out more on a live site, but getting a basic shape of it here is good.) I'... (more) |

A: Was score system changed? Various things, not all of them understood, affect the accuracy of the reported reputation number. For example, sometimes a post is deleted or undeleted but the reputation adjustments don't get made. A system-wide reputation recalculation updates rep numbers by recomputing all of them. An admin ... (more) |

Questions deleted by users can be deleted in error, so while it's *usually* spam or trolling, there could also be a misunderstanding, language barrier, overzealous deleter, or whatever. (more) |

Our use cases/wireframes call for a pop-up that invites you to sign in; I guess we haven't gotten there yet with the code. (This should apply to any control that's visible but requires that you be signed in.) (more) |

Meta actually does have a Meta, because it's baked into the site-setup code, and it took a few days for us to get rid of it. While it was there it confused people, but I admit we never created Meta Meta Meta where people could ask questions about Meta Meta. (more) |

A: Block adding answers and editing of question/answers of deleted questions. I strongly agree that being able to add a new answer after a question has been deleted doesn't make sense, and that most people also shouldn't be able to add comments. (Moderators should be able to, and see the comments for another suggestion.) I think the author should be able to edit a deleted ... (more) |

"recent deletions" moderator tool produces error The "recent deletions" link under mod tools is consistently returning a 500 server error for me.

@Olin I don't see how that's different from misapplied tags now. People sometimes use the wrong tag because they assumed from the name it was one thing when it's actually meant to be something else. I'm saying we shouldn't allow both "apple" and "Apple" to be tags on the same site; that'll just add... (more) |

Interesting idea. We could extend the [use case for suggesting a duplicate](https://github.com/codidact/feature-development/blob/master/scoped/flag/duplicate.md) to add a checkbox for the supersede case; I don't know if there are better ways. Right *now* duplicate is part of the close flow like on ... (more) |

A: Should we allow capitalized tags? I think tags should be case-preserving and also case-independent. By this I mean: I do not want us to have two tags that differ only in capitalization, because I think that will lead to errors and confusion. (If you need tags for "apple" the fruit and "Apple" the company on the same site, find some... (more) |

A: Community Wiki Posts I think you're asking about what SE calls community wiki, as opposed to the community user. On SE, the Community user owns things that are otherwise ownerless, like posts from deleted users. Community wiki, on the other hand, is a status that an individual post has, meaning "make it easy for people... (more) |

@Mithical that'd be a problem with the *user account*, though; it's not that we'd be saying "you can be here but can't be a mod" but, rather, we'd be saying "GDPR says you can't be here, sorry!". @ArtOfCode TOS violations would be problems; I wasn't thinking of that as a legal issue, but maybe I'm t...
