@Lundin not as part of the import process, no. But once the post is here, people can edit to merge answers, preserving attribution. This would be a good use case for the "community wiki" proposal, too, as it's truly a combined effort that no one person gets "credit" for. (more) |

Oh, good point. I said that because the license doesn't require importing the entire edit history. And maybe we don't want to recreate the full edit history here, but for imported posts we could include the original edit history as a link in the post history. That way the information is available ... (more) |

@Lundin agreed; people need to be judicious in using the tool. Sometimes some of the answers are good (or good starting points for edits) and others should be deleted, which the community could do here but can't do there. (more) |

Proposal: tool for user-requested import of a single question and its answers from SE We have a tool for doing bulk imports of questions (and answers) from SE. It has several limitations: - Running it requires direct DB access. - The resulting data is sometimes wrong in various ways -- duplicates, answers not getting wired up to the right questions, something that blocks voting som...

Our planned workflow for duplicates is: anyone can propose a duplicate; if the author agrees it's marked (done); otherwise the author is invited to edit or can dispute the duplicate suggestion (this has nothing to do with that). So yes, an author who finds or agrees with a dupe target can just go ah... (more) |

@manassehkatz I considered adding that (specifically if there've been no edits). I don't know how much that complicates the implementation (don't count this post for abilities, no do again / move it over to System, no move it back). Maybe only change ownership once there *is* an edit and the rest is... (more) |

@Lundin on your last point, that's what I had in mind with setting the System user as the owner (in my "to be determined" paragraph). I don't know if there are better ways, but that's *a* way. (more) |

A: Do we have/should we have community wikis? Update: We didn't do what I proposed here, but we instead created a wiki post type. See there for details. I wrote a GH ticket based on this suggestion, with the following expansion: We should avoid the term "community wiki", which was sometimes confusing on Some Other platform too. If we ... (more) |

We don't have it yet. An "anyone can edit" option for the author is something I'd like to see us do. ("Anyone" to be further clarified; probably means anyone who's gained the Participate Generally ability?) (more) |

A: Why not have a physics community for physics enthusiasts? Right now we don't have a good way of identifying people who would help build a new community, so let's do this: if you are interested in helping to build this site, please leave a comment describing your level of interest (casual visitor, enthusiast, expert in this topic within the site's scope, som...

We don't yet have the ability to lock posts, so if you edit that back in again we will have to delete the post again. Please find more appropriate ways to express yourself, and please stop pretending to be someone other than the author of the question. (more) |

A: Why was this answer to the volunteer-discussion removed? That answer (and this meta question) prompted a lot of discussion. This discussion is a good outcome. We are by the community, for the community, which means if the community questions what we're doing, we need to discuss that. We don't need to keep engaging if someone is clearly out to be disrupt...

There have been a few cases of employees with no other activity on a site (i.e. they can only downvote because of their status) downvoting community ads, but I'm not aware of them outright deleting any yet. I haven't been tracking edits to posts like the ones you're talking about, but if those posts... (more) |

Oh wow. That missing sidebar is where the core of the tour -- that is, the explanations and instructions -- goes. A tour without that would be pretty cryptic. Is that still happening? (more) |

Saving the post as a draft in case the tour-taker wrote a real question is a good idea. Thanks for the suggestion. (more) |

@ArtOfCode I ran into this on some community metas recently when adding the missing basic tags (like support). I couldn't characterize it at the time, so while I might have mentioned it in chat I didn't do anything more -- figured maybe it was a fluke. (more) |

A: To be constructive, or not to be constructive, that is the question. No system of rules can run only on statutory rules. There is always case law, because no set of laws/rules that people can actually manage will ever include everything. We are trying to write a clear, succinct "statute" about what we expect on our network. We know that some things will require h... (more) |

Comments are getting reworked (design work is happening now) and will be threaded. With the ability to separate threads (after people learn to reply instead of just adding to the end), comments will be more organized. With threading, I don't know if comments "rising to the top" still makes sense. I'd... (more) |

I agree with both of you: communities should be able to set the norms that work for them, *and* these norms need to be communicated clearly so people don't stumble over the differences. (more) |

A: Community Rules I agree; we need to help communities communicate clearly about their norms, particularly to newcomers. Each community has a "FAQ" or "introduction" topic in the help that moderators can edit, and moderators can create other help topics. Electrical Engineering has built out a body of site-specific h...

@aCVn categories could change that, yes. But, fundamentally, the groups have enough important differences that I suspect they shouldn't share common infrastructure like reputation/abilities and a single meta. Federated communities like with my vague SoftwareDev subcommunities might work better. But... (more) |
