Q&A Proposal to ease tag maintenance

Q&A New post type: wiki

Q&A Threaded comments are here!

Feature request: timestamps. Ok, I admit I can be a little obsessive. Plus, if I'm a moderator, I should try to stay on top of things that are happening on my community. This includes new commen...

Q&A Notification on edits to voted post

That could get noisy if it were the default behavior. But maybe we should consider, instead, an option where you can choose to be notified of new activity on a specific post. We already have an o...

Q&A Let moderators grant abilities.

You can. On the user's profile, click "Moderator tools" and then choose "privileges" from there. (I'm sorry about the unclear name there.) This takes you to a page where you can grant or suspe...

Q&A How do I suggest edits to the tag wiki?

It's been a while since you asked this and, sadly, we still haven't implemented suggested edits for tag pages so there would be a way to gain approved suggested edits. I agree it's frustrating. M...

Q&A Allow a user to edit a threaded comment's title after the threaded comment has been created

I think it's reasonable for the person who created the thread to be able to edit the title so long as the only comments are from that user. As soon as there's a comment from someone else, though, ...

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...
