@mattdm somebody is actually working on templates for these blurbs now, though yours is probably going to be specialized enough that you'll need to override it. :-) But yes, the idea of a "post" page having a place to plug guidance (straight from the template, or modified for that category/site) is ...

When people ask gear-recommendation questions and get answers recommending A, B, and C, how much overlap is there in those answers with answers to *other* questions where people recommended A, B, and C? Do you want straight Q&A, or do you maybe want a library of "gear" pages (features, strengths, we... (more) |

We can customize the guidance on the "ask question" page per-category, so you could write a blurb about what makes a good question *in Gear Recommendations* and it'd show up there. If you have more to say than fits in that chunk of UI, you can write a help topic and link to it. (more) |

@ArtOfCode, sounds like tag search within current category? That seems doable. We'll need to add the concept of sticky/pinned tags per category. (more) |

Part of the issue, I think, is that "show more comments" remains even after you've clicked it and are seeing them all. Ultimately comments will be threaded, which should help -- you'll be able to expand or collapse threads rather than having to weave through conversations all at the top level. (more) |

A category can support more than one post type, so if you had a resource library (or whatever you want to call it), you could have a mix of wiki-style articles and Q&A where each answer fully covers one approach. (more) |

Instead of a blog you could have a resource library. Blog posts are usually individual people's work and can be opinionated and even somewhat tangential, while a resource library focuses more on objectivity and presumably has more community ownership (like a wiki). Or maybe you're looking for those ... (more) |

@Mattdm, is it meaningful to have a site that covers both photo and video and that has categories like "technique", "art", "production", and "gear"? In each of those you'd see both photo and video questions, but it promotes the broad *types* you want to call out to categories. But there needs to be... (more) |

@Mattdm, these are exactly the kinds of things we want to figure out *before* launching. You are not coming across as argumentative at all, and I hope you don't interpret the feedback you're getting that way either. (more) |

And I agree with the goal of supporting artistic questions and not just technical ones. I think that broadens the site's appeal (at least to this rank beginner, who, granted, might not be your target audience). (more) |

| Comment | Post #74833 |
Thank you both for explaining the background. If we have separate categories for photo/video/CV, then within the first two at least we'd still have a mix of technical and artistic, right? Will the former drown out the latter? Or is the idea that each of these categories would be small enough that the... (more) |

| Comment | Post #74833 |
What you said about categories matches our design intent. I don't know what the struggles were with video and CV alongside still photography on SE; was tagging not enough to handle that? We can give you mandatory tags (must choose at least one from this set); are there questions that wouldn't fit t... (more) |

Welcome! A question to help you think about categories (I have no domain expertise to apply). Think of *categories* as broad groupings; it sounds like still photography and video are different enough from each other for this, for instance. But you also have tags, and can even use the same tag set acr... (more) |

A: Site suggestion - Code Golf This answer has been superseded by new developments. Members of the Code Golf community have already created a site on TopAnswers. While this doesn't mean there can't be a site here, I would want to see a stronger show of support from members of the community. The golfers seem to be happy on... (more) |

Can we make the TOS and COC links site-agnostic? The terms of service and code of conduct linked in the footer of every page on every site point to pages on Writing. That's because Writing was first and a standalone site before we added network support to the software. Now that we have that, can we move these pages to codidact.com to be site-agno... (more) |

I do agree that we need to not offer the option on sites where there's nothing to connect to. Not all communities here will have associated SE sites. (more) |

The "meta meta" page is going to go away, yes. We just need to make sure we've removed all the pre-category code that assumed that every site has a meta -- don't want to break this site in the process of yanking that out. (more) |

What about cases where somebody has hidden specific site accounts on the network profile? If we could reliably get to all accounts I'd agree with you about just using the network profile; that would be much easier for everyone. Maybe the answer is to support both -- use the network profile in gener... (more) |

@MaskedMan not your fault; we just added that "don't post here" language *because* the software made it too easy to end up here. Every *other* site we set up will have a meta, so it's baked in for now, but Meta doesn't need a meta... (more) |

Are you doing this here on Meta, or on one of our other sites (Writing or Outdoors)? I'll have to check, but it might not work on Meta because we don't have an associated SE site that we want to import posts from -- but if that's the case then we should have a better response than this error, so tha...

Do members of the Code Golf communities (SE and/or TA) want to have one here too, like to be able to compare options? If the community is happy on TopAnswers then I wouldn't want to interfere with that, but we're happy to set up a community here if that's what the people involved want. (more) |

I'll leave the main part of your question for someone who can speak more authoritatively, but on your related question: yes, you will be able to link your Codidact Outdoors account to your SE Outdoors account and thus claim your content here. (more) |
