@Istiak on that question, somebody posted and then deleted an answer, and that's the activity that showed as a modification on the question list. We need to distinguish among modifications; if we said "edited" or "answered" or "closed" or "answer deleted" then you'd know what the change was even if... (more) |

@Lundin thanks for the information, and for pointing out that this case couldn't possibly have been a tag edit. We've had (and fixed) other history bugs, so while I don't know why this one doesn't show, I think we'll still need to wait to see if it happens again. Debugging single occurrences, espec... (more) |

@Istiak you can always bring your own answers here; you wrote them, after all. For other people's answers, you would have to follow the attribution requirements in the license used by SE. It's usually better to write your own answer; you can cite the other and quote parts of it, like you would fro... (more) |

Thanks for the detective work. I thought from this that the problem is that *added* tags don't get counted, but if so, then [status-planned on Site Proposals](https://meta.codidact.com/categories/10/tags/997) should return 0, because no proposal starts with that. Instead it correctly shows the one ... (more) |

A: Post edited by a user but no changes visible We have had some bugs in edit history. Fixes for these bugs apply to future edits, but we don't have a good way to update events that predated the bug fixes. That edit was six months ago and I know we've fixed history bugs since then. If you see a new edit that doesn't show history correctly ple... (more) |

A: Could we have a way to edit without bumping posts? Speaking for myself and not the team (I haven't discussed this with anyone else), here are some things I'd like to consider: - We shouldn't try to programmatically determine what a "minor" edit is; in the right context, one character is a major edit. Designation as minor needs to be human-powered... (more) |

Oh wait, I see what's going on -- if you *close* as a duplicate you have to supply a link, but if you *flag* you don't. That's an oversight. I don't know what it'll take to fix this. At the very least, we could add some text asking people to supply the link in the textbox. (more) |

This is a bug. The duplicate close reason is supposed to require a link. I just checked the configuration here on meta and it's set to yes (required), but I was able to flag this as a dupe without supplying one. Thanks for the report. (more) |

I would want major edits to still bump, because if somebody did a major overhaul of a (previously) poor post I probably want to change my vote, which means knowing about the change. But I don't want to be directly notified of every change (i.e. following posts doesn't solve this for me), because tha... (more) |

A: Understanding how posts were possibly received by the community --- network wide I think what you're asking for is (1) better information about votes you're receiving, so you know which posts are being up- or down-voted, and (2) for that information to be available in one place. For the first, we do want to provide this information on the user profile page. You should be able... (more) |

I've sometimes seen the empty circle (like you reported here) and sometimes seen "0" as the notification count. Haven't worked out the characterization yet. (more) |

Thinking out loud: could be another button at the top of the question list instead of a new category. Consider that more than one category could have this need, so we wouldn't want to spawn an extra category per, but we might be able to separate them another way. (more) |

@ r~~ links to related information, starting points for investigation (not an answer but maybe building blocks for an answer), comments/questions that are more tangential but still might be of interest (e.g. did you know there's a new version of that library that solves this problem?).

A: Giving question feedback in private - a moderating system to reduce conflicts I'd like to propose a different way of thinking about the problem (and I agree there are problems here). Some premises: - New users don't know how things work, so we need to keep it simple. - Many non-veteran users are deterred by bad "people" experiences -- if your question is off-topic the... (more) |

A: Bootstrapping: who can speak for a community? It's been a while since I asked this question. In the meantime we've launched several communities that weren't transplants from SE, so most of our communities didn't start with "imported moderators". Here's what we're doing for all communities now: When a community is new, the moderation load is... (more) |

I forgot about this question; thanks for reminding me. We should post an update. Since I asked this, we've started asking communities to nominate people -- when a community first starts the load is low enough that staff can handle any issues that come up, and then the community can choose its initial...

A: A "Super user" like community to include Q&As about software applications usage There's been a lot of discussion here and on other proposals and questions about this idea. We want to launch a general "software users" community where questions about applications, OS settings, cloud-based tools, etc will all be in scope -- the broad approach we also took with Software Development...

We'll draw a summary from the top-voted scope answer, something like "community for users of Linux and Unix-like operating systems". That can be tweaked farther, but no point in blocking a popular proposal on a minor thing. Similarly, we can start with the scope that's been discussed here and refin... (more) |

@Moshi fair point, and maybe the meta context is enough. I'm asking, not asserting. :-) As for discussion etc, while those are a different aspect than things like "comments" or "editing", they're still the "original context" of the question rather than a disposition from the staff, so that feels di...

@Moshi I worry that it becomes more of a "for those who know" thing at that point. If you know there are status tags, you'll probably figure out what "planned" means. On the other hand, if you're on a databases community where questions could be about query plans, maybe less clear. Or "declined" on a... (more) |

A: Let's revamp our status tags I agree that distinguishing these kinds of responses from other moderator-only tags would be helpful, and that we don't need to keep doing what we started doing early on when we needed something. The "status-" is part of the name to avoid having only one type of "encoding"; somebody who can't se... (more) |

A: Disallowing quoting question parts in answers, rather, in comments only Quoting is sometimes necessary for context. Sometimes an answer needs to focus on one part of the question -- one claim, one line of code, etc. Not being able to quote would impede clarity. This doesn't mean we don't want askers to improve their questions. If somebody asks for clarification, yo... (more) |

@Istiakshovon sorry for the confusion. I wasn't suggesting that you change anything, just taking your suggestion and talking about how we might address it along with a related problem. Feature requests can attract that kind of response sometimes as people think through how the feature might work. ... (more) |
