Whoops, I thought we blocked repeats of the same flag. Guess not! (more) |

Redirecting to the dashboard view for logged-in users is a good idea. Logged-in users already know what Codidact is, so they don't need the explanations that are on the static landing page. For first-time visitors we do want to show more than just a list of sites and their categories. It would be ... (more) |

No patience required! Feedback on what isn't clear enough helps us improve. It can be hard sometimes when you're immersed in a system to notice that we're making assumptions. (more) |

When Codidact gets that large, one option communities could use (that SO doesn't have) is to collect well-developed canonicals into a new category and direct people there. You'd still be able to close new questions as duplicates across the category boundary. I imagine *developing* the Q&A in its us... (more) |

Nobody's answered yet, so feel free to edit. We shouldn't assume people will read the comments.

(I didn't know my activity was so far out of the normal range.)
Maybe we should think about something narrower, and opt-in not opt-out, where you can choose to be notified of vote changes on a post-by-post basis. Sort of like following new comment threads, maybe a more general "follow changes" th... (more) |

How about if I mark it as status-complete for now, which will bump the post, and if people see it again we can reopen? (more) |

I can't reproduce this now in a current dev environment. Have you seen more cases of this, or might it have been fixed by an update made since this post? (more) |

| Comment | Post #289911 |
Oh, I think I see. I meant to be expansive: if you think it's useful here, now or for the future (like canonicals), then don't let the fact that SO has a version of it stop you. We can make the Codidact copy *better* than theirs! :-) (more) |

I'm sorry I was unclear. I didn't mean I expect authors to care *forever* and maintain their own posts for years; people come and go, as you said, and this is why other people can edit too, or write better answers. I meant that if there is somebody who is here now who cares about the answer to a qu... (more) |

Sure, I'm not asking people to do excessive work; everyone has competing demands for time and attention, after all. If you bring good Q&A here, we appreciate it! That you didn't spend all your waking hours bringing *more* of it is not a fault. :-) (more) |

I, too, wondered if it was related to the minimum-length fix. I'll mark it as complete. (more) |

I don't know, bus suspect, that tag merges or synonyms are involved. I notice that two of those other three tags don't exist any more, and one has 0 posts. Maybe post *display* and post *editing* aren't quite in sync in the presence of tag restructuring? (I'm guessing, so I'm just leaving this com... (more) |

Please do not drastically change already-answered questions. It makes it hard to understand the answers in their original context. I have restored the first version of the question. It looks like the feedback here helped you realize that what you're really looking for isn't direct messages but a m... (more) |

I was thinking of "resolved by $user" being in the same place as "Andreas wrote $time ago" is in this thread -- meta-information provided by the system, as distinct from the actual comment text. (more) |

Oh sorry, I meant the close options, not the flag options. I don't think we can define custom flags right now. I don't remember why the flag options don't include all the close options, but adding that seems like a good idea. (more) |

FYI, curators can see certain flags on the posts themselves, but they don't get notifications like mods do and maybe that's something we should improve. "Mod attention" flags go only to mods/admins, but, for example, curators can see spam flags. Or at least that's the intention -- we also still nee... (more) |

The close reason we have now (just here on Meta) is "outdated or superseded", and using the reason requires a link. Not everything that is outdated is completed; sometimes a proposal led to a follow-on, like the last link in the question. Status tags wouldn't fit there; the post is neither complete... (more) |

Where is that button you mentioned in your last paragraph? It looks like I forgot to update some configuration when I assed that community, which I'll hunt down and fix (page footer for instance), and I'd like to fix that error at the same time. (more) |

I don't see a problem with adding Mathjax to the general formatting help, with a preface about it only being enabled on some communities, if that makes this easier to manage. (Sounds like it would?) (more) |

Sorry for the delayed response. A single post on Meta is fine; if we need to break it up into pieces for resolution, we can do that downstream (via GitHub issues). We want to make it as easy as possible for our users to let us know about problems or request changes; don't feel like you have to divi... (more) |

Just to clarify: our baseline network policy bars *undisclosed* AI content because it's plagiarism, and allows moderators to summarily delete *disclosed* AI content because it's usually of poor quality. Individual communities are free to say "no we welcome that content", so long as its provenance is... (more) |

It's odd that we have both `notification` and `notifications` -- presumably an error at some point compounded by auto-complete suggestions. I'm about to merge these. (Separately we have `email-notifications`, which isn't involved.)

UI considerations were part of it. We asked ourselves: what do we need to do to support a reasonable display of all the tags (on a post and in the post list) including on phones? Having _some_ limit made sense. From there, I think we just went with something that seemed to work Somewhere Else. I ... (more) |

Sorry, I'll clarify the post. Anybody can create a tag on a post, but there is also a way to create a tag directly, which is helpful when organizing tag hierarchies. (more) |

About deleting tags: I just made a Meta post about loosening various tag-maintenance restrictions, including deleting unused tags, here: https://meta.codidact.com/posts/289350 . Please all, help us think through how to make this better! Thanks. (more) |

@#52991I apologize for the delay; I was away with limited access and haven't been able to get to this before now. I've deleted those two tags on EE (those seem like no-brainers) and I've asked about deleting -- I thought mods could do that but apparently not, so I'm not sure if that's by design or a... (more) |

I'm not a legal expert, but "you must include the license with content" seems to be part of most licenses, so I'd prefer we do that. A URL is fine and sounds lightweight. Licenses can be added, so IDs shouldn't be baked into the code -- the URL is a unique identifier already, so we can use that.

I think if you're retrieving content we should include the license in the returned values, and if you're retrieving content metadata like scores or authors or tags, that's not licensed content so no need. Edits are an interesting case as they aren't explicitly licensed but carry the post license. (more) |

I think a public discussion more visible than comments - about goals, requirements, basically what we want in an API - is a good next step. Then we can figure out an MVP that moves us forward without precluding things we'll want to add later. (more) |

If the concern is Proposals, we're not going to just count reactions when making a decision to launch. We're going to take be that as input and then see how many of those people were actually active in the incubator. The reactions also tell us whom to check in with (details TBD). (more) |

Good point. Yes, IMO if a flag is still pending we should show it like I described. I agree that some way to see that you have resolved flags on a post would be good. If nothing else, you don't want to keep raising the same flags out of ignorance. (more) |
