Q&A How to keep displayed usernames unique even if the user account is deleted?

Every user already has an associated unique number (it's in your profile URL). The easiest way to distinguish user names for deleted users would be to use that number. This is what SE does. A co...

Q&A Creating tags is much easier than adding description

We currently have no way to suggest an edit for tag descriptions. This is a known gap and it's blocking the natural awarding of the Edit Tags ability. I think it probably also blocks doing someth...

Q&A We need to talk about Abilities

I want moderators to be able to grant or suspend abilities at fairly granular levels, because sometimes that person who's answered a ton of questions well also has a tendency to make noisy edits or...

Q&A No visible response when searching on mobile

The filters widget is now collapsed on the search-results page, like it is for categories. This restores the status quo for small viewports, but I've just noticed while verifying this fix that the...

Q&A Should we have a network-wide policy against AI-generated answers?

We have posted our default policy for generative-AI content. It's more of a clarification than an actual change; as pointed out in another answer, representing Chat-GPT or any other content that yo...

Q&A Mismatch between search guidance, search help page, and search behaviour for votes and score

Thanks for this report. The behavior is powerful; we should update the documentation, not limit search. I've updated the search topic in the help center to describe how the operators actually wor...

Q&A Redundant "Posts" heading on every community in the dashboard

There are some additional sections visible only to admins and/or global moderators, which is why the heading exists at all. But you're right: for the vast majority of people, that's the only visib...

Q&A No response when clicking on the title of a thread on a recently deleted post

Q&A UI question: how should the "post" button behave in restricted categories?
