Q&A How to remove a given tag from all questions where it is used?

Our tag-management UI isn't that advanced yet. (We also don't yet have rename or merge.) Until we can fix that, please make a support request and an admin will make the change. You can make a me...

Q&A Post action links that cannot be used should be hidden

I'd like to move Close and Delete to the Tools menu (now that we have that menu). This menu is generated based on what you have the privilege to do, so that's a better place for these items. Doin...

Q&A Hot Network Questions like feature?

I think a system where sites can somehow nominate questions for broader publicity would be helpful, but I don't think we want to repeat the mistakes SE made with hot network questions. We've talke...

Q&A How do we handle overlap?

There is a community aspect to this that can be lost if we just think of questions as being things that fit into buckets (sites). A user might choose to ask a question on the "general" site instea...

Q&A Network-wide sign in created accounts for me on all sites even though I had no accounts there beforehand

I don't think that visiting site A while logged in on site B should automatically create an account on site A, for at least two reasons: Doing it inflates the list of users, making it harder to g...

Q&A The list of questions for a user should indicate the category the question is asked in

We have a design for this; it's just not implemented yet. The user profile will show selectors (tabs) for each category plus "all" (the default). In the "all" view, posts will be labeled by categ...

Q&A UX changes: dark theme, distinct borders and shortcuts

Q&A How should Codidact "advertise" and gain community members?

We have to build awareness through word of mouth. And that's not about Codidact in general, and isn't always even about specific Codidact communities (though it can be). Sometimes tweeting a link...

Q&A What should we do about tagging in Site Proposals?
