A: How granular should network communities be? A community with common interests is a part of it too. At Some Other place somebody wanted to combine all the Abrahamic religion sites into one, arguing that they share a lot of biblical books and tags could differentiate religious context. I argued against this because the three communities view t... (more) |

I understand (some stuff about) web client code in the abstract. I think there's room to learn something from that question even if I'm not a C++ programmer. (more) |

| Question | — |
Should we show tags before the body, to provide context for reading the question? Today I saw the following question on Software Dev (this is the beginning): title and first paragraph could apply to several languages (rest of post...) The title, "connect with SLOT/SIGNAL:QPushButton clicked signal not received by main window" sounds like it could be about one of several... (more) |

Yeah, I'm not trying to play a *reductio ad absurdum* card; I'm just trying to tease out whether it's a small number of arbitrary links (and roughly how many), or whether it's "support more specific sites beyond Twitter and one free link". (more) |

A: Allow users to link more than one website in their profile. Let's talk about design. Clearly we wouldn't want to allow any number of links, because having a thousand links would break the layout in some way. Unless we put it behind a "show more" control of some sort when we reach the "too many to lay out reasonably" point, wherever that is (and it's proba... (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) |

A: Should we use the Article type for bug reports? I've sometimes seen bug reports be answered with workaround while awaiting a fix. I think I've seen that here on Codidact (though I haven't gone looking for examples). I know I saw it sometimes on Some Other site. I don't know how important it is, but it's something we would lose if we made this c... (more) |

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

A: Medical science site Resources This community should consider compiling and jointly curating a "resources" category (or something similar that serves the same purpose). This could include lists of good (= reliable, credible) references, perhaps broken up by medical sub-field. It could also include a list or lists o... (more) |

| Comment | Post #277985 |
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) |

A: Suggestion for allowing to mark answers as "accepted", "outdated" or "dangerous" How should we handle possibly-outdated reactions? No, not by reactions to reactions. An edit to a post made after reactions were added could change the applicability of those reactions. Somebody might have edited to address a danger or update an out-of-date recommendation. Conversely, somebody ... (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) |

A: Suggestion for allowing to mark answers as "accepted", "outdated" or "dangerous" I was part of that conversation, so my input is mostly reflected in this proposal already. I want to add one thing, about community customization, which gets into philosophy. I don't want us to end up with gazillions of emoji decorating posts. That way lies madness and Discord. A reaction shoul... (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.)

A: What is the policy on importing questions by simply quoting the question over here? I haven't consulted with the rest of the team yet, so treat this as my personal opinion and not Codidact policy, please. Under the terms of the Creative Commons license used at SE (and here), quoting content from there is fine so long as you provide attribution and link. These questions do that (... (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) |
