Q&A How can we improve community proposals?

We've implemented one part of this (that seems to have consensus and no objections): the tags. I've updated the proposal guidelines, created the three "needs" tags, and retagged many proposals. (...

Q&A Can the title of the question be a "clean" link to the question itself?

Does the "copy link" link below the question meet your needs? Those of us who came from Somewhere Else are used to the title being a link, but we thought an explicit link would be more discovera...

Q&A New post type: wiki

We've had some discussions here on Meta about shared resource pages -- wiki-style articles that anybody could edit, canonical posts, and so on. My original idea for this was that individual posts ...

Q&A What will become of reputation?

(Personal opinion, not official anything.) I'm one of the people who, from the beginning, wanted to change how we handle reputation, because while Someplace Else got some things right with it, the...

Q&A Heads up: small design changes, a better user card and some long-expected features

For some but not all users, the post counts are showing as 0 when that's clearly wrong. For example: That's from elsewhere on this page. The numbers also show as 0 for me in the user list (and...

Q&A Community ad has the wrong logo

Logo is now right: That screenshot is from Meta (I included part of the "hot" list as evidence). Unfortunately, the URL that's being generated is still wrong, so clicking will probably produce ...

Q&A How can we improve community proposals?

Now that we've seen several community proposals, some of which succeeded and some of which have run into hurdles, I want to look at how we're managing and tracking proposals. While there will alwa...

Q&A Rollback Feature for Questions and Answers

I agree; "roll back to this version" has been useful on other platforms and I'd like us to have it. I think the interface should allow for a rollback reason, like the edit reason, so the explanati...

Q&A Change not listed in question

Tentative characterization of the bug: this happens when a user who does not have the Edit ability makes a suggested edit and that suggestion is approved. Look at the edit history on this question...

Q&A Most reputations dropped by 1 (maybe the "starter" 1 rep disappeared for people who had more)

A rep recalculation restored the 1 point to everybody. Whether accounts should start at 1 or 0 is a separate question, but they're now consistent again.

Q&A Vote counts broken by the update?

Found the problem! There'll be a post from ArtOfCode later with more information, but we believe we've now corrected the problem with some votes (cast during the upgrade window) not having been pr...

Q&A Add a more obvious link to the Abilities page

Making the "Earned Abilities" heading on the profile page link to the full list (/abilities) seems like a good way to solve this. It avoids adding one more tab on the profile (which is already con...

Q&A Most reputations dropped by 1 (maybe the "starter" 1 rep disappeared for people who had more)

The recent database update included a reputation recalculation. Reputation doesn't mean as much as it used to (it doesn't govern abilities any more), but it's still present and visible. In the re...

Q&A 403 error when voting to close

The "Close" link is no longer shown to people who don't have the ability to use it. If you can't vote to close and you think action is needed, you can flag instead.

Q&A What is the 'lottery' button for?

"Lottery" is a random set of 50 questions. It's a way to be reminded of older posts that have dropped off the front page. I agree with the suggestion that "Random" would be a better label; we did...

Q&A "last activity" on the post history of questions is misleading.

The last activity shown there was for the whole page, same as what you see in the question list. That's confusing in the history case, as you point out. We talked about updating it to show the co...

Q&A Implement duplicate up-down vote buttons

For the buttons, I propose something bolder: don't duplicate them, move them. The logical time to make a voting decision is when you've read a post, so I agree they belong at the bottom. But why ...
