@luap42 category, not site -- a place right here on Meta for people to congregate. But, needs assessment first. (more) |

@luap42 or it could be a "fun" category off of Meta, or a place in Discord with different conventions, or a different Discourse forum to avoid conflating chit-chat with older planning, or something else... I'd like to better understand the need before we dive into setting something up. I think there'... (more) |

The forum Moshi refers to was more focused than what this question describes, though. Zerotime, can you say more about what you imagine this looking like? For example, you mentioned new threads being bumped as a negative, I think, but the forums I've used have done that too. What would be the importa... (more) |

We should do something non-destructive if the tag has a description, for those cases where someone did things in the wrong order with a tag re-org or the like. (SE did this badly; mods got a list of "orphan tag wikis" with no indication of where they'd come from.) (more) |

Just last night I talked with somebody who found us but doesn't use SE, and I've seen some others. As we increase activity and visibility I would expect to see more of that. We don't have the Google rank and resulting visibility that they have, so we need to find other ways to (responsibly) get the... (more) |

Yes. **Communities first** is a key difference, and many other things follow from that. (more) |

We should create a help topic for this, since many of our users will be coming from (or familiar with) SE. We can use answers here as input for that. For some high-level Codidact philosophy (not nuts and bolts of how things work), see [The Codidact Vision](https://meta.codidact.com/articles/276296)... (more) |

Good point. There are probably FAQs that medical professionals would prefer to link to rather than answering *again*, too. (more) |

My upvote is for the "good references"/"bad references" suggestion (however worded). I'd suggest that the community curate lists of known-credible and known-problematic references and that these reactions could be links to those lists. I'm concerned that one reaction per reference, or using answers... (more) |

@OlinLathrop I think signed votes could be displayed in a similar way, but I've been thinking of *casting* them as part of the *voting* process rather than a separate reaction. I'm imagining that a user can, as part of voting, say "make this public", UX to be determined. (more) |

@Mithrandir24601 exactly. Reactions should *augment* votes, not *divert* or *duplicate* them. (more) |

If we do this, I would suggest status-pending (for consistency with site proposals), and that it means the work is done or nearly done with very high probability of being done soon enough for the next deploy. It should mean "coming soon" rather than "somebody started a branch for that". (more) |

The Trello board contains everything that's been reported/requested that's neither done nor declined. Not everything there has been triaged, and prioritization is loose. After triage, bugs and FRs go to GitHub. (more) |

If you see a question somewhere else -- Quora, SE, a coworker, whatever -- and you bring it here so you can answer, that's fine. (Of course the question might get other answers too, as is proper.) It's a kindness to share a link with the asker, sure, especially if you already have an active account t... (more) |

I see the other post has now been updated with status-planned. I think that's a good approach. We can move it to status-completed after deploy. (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) |

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) |

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) |

@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) |

@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...

@DonielF it's still pretty subjective, sorry. I see two enthusiastic people and several more casual.

Those are different votes. The community will elect the panel, through some process to be determined. The first election will seat seven members; the three who finish in positions 5, 6, and 7 will get one-year terms. It's not related to site activity, votes on posts, trust levels, etc. (more) |

Medical professionals will generally not *diagnose* without seeing the patient anyway, for reasons of both liability and professional ethics.

Do you want this info passively (like for skimming), or just actively (without clicking through, have I voted on this?)?

@aCVn there's a spectrum, which is why I asked.

Maybe we should put it back at the top. This has come up a few times.
