Q&A How should we make pending edit suggestions more visible?

Each category header includes an "Edits" link, which is a link to a list of pending suggested edits in the current category. But nothing alerts people with the ability to approve those edits that ...

Q&A Do we need the drop down menu at the upper right corner to link to all other communities?

We added that drop-down menu in response to requests from community members. Yes there's a link in the footer (and that has been brought up before), but many feel that we need something a little m...

Q&A What customizations are available on Codidact?

On Codidact, lots of things can be customized for individual communities. Generally these changes need to be made by admins, but we'll make them on request. But what are all these things? What c...

Q&A It is possible to close a question as duplicate to itself.

This is fixed now. We know that the error message isn't very informative; we'll try to address that later. But you now get one of those pink pop-up error messages if you try to link a post to its...

Q&A Move posted dated box to white space to the left of poster information?

We have moved the post date/time and license info to the left side, along with the edit info. This separates the metadata about the post from the information about the user who posted it. We have...

A lot of Codidact's distinctives, as Manasseh notes in comments on another answer, are about how the Codidact team and the community interact -- that communities here have much more control, that t...

Q&A We should delete all old imported content.

Q&A Can we have customised text in the "Posting Tips" banner for each post type?
