The terms of service and code of conduct linked in the footer of every page on every site point to pages on Writing. That's because Writing was first and a standalone site before we added network ...
I strongly agree that being able to add a new answer after a question has been deleted doesn't make sense, and that most people also shouldn't be able to add comments. (Moderators should be able t...
We have an issue open to fix this in the code, but I recently realized that moderators can also fix it locally: the close reasons are editable. I've edited it here on Meta to say "This question ha...
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...
SE sites (that aren't in beta) have "community ads", which are ads submitted by users on that site for things they think will be of interest to other users on that site. Some use them to promote S...
We don't seem to have active Redditors (people with the track record that would prevent being labeled as spammers), but I'm all for responsible promotion! Do we have within our community an establ...
Three of Codidact's early communities did large-scale imports of content from Stack Exchange, and at the request of some community members, we added an icon to those questions on question lists. O...
There are two aspects to copies, license/attribution and duplication. The CC-BY-SA license doesn't require you to include attribution links for your own work. This is why, on communities with imp...
Thank you for this suggestion. I agree that this is a gap we should address. We're currently working on improvements to moderator tools that include letting moderators initiate private discussion...
We now have a couple anti-spam measures in place: In user profiles, when the user has not yet earned Participate Everywhere, we do not render links to anonymous viewers. Logged-in users still...
We have pushed a change that replaces the website and Twitter fields on the profile with three generic label/value pairs. These are shown as "extra fields" on the profile after the profile text. ...
You seem to be interpreting the incubator as the home for all questions that don't fit anywhere else, and also as a primary entry point for people new to Codidact. That's not the goal. The incuba...
We want to add a network profile. Our initial thinking is around giving you a list of your communities and an overview of your activity there. After we do that, it would be possible to extend it ...
To answer the question of what the behavior is: in a dev environment, I created a post with two code blocks, one containing spaces and one containing tabs. I couldn't just type the tabs into the p...
We have a change pending to remove this non-flag from the flag list. (There's a story there that I'll get back to.) To the point raised in another answer, people can still use "other" to request ...
I would prefer to give readers information rather than infer conclusions (sometimes right, sometimes not). We have an existing request to show reactions in history somehow -- specifically, readers ...
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...
You can see your own deleted questions if you have the URLs, but we haven't yet implemented a way for you to see those links in the UI (like with a "deleted" tab or filter on your profile). I've e...
Good question. A reaction doesn't bestow benefits (reputation, progress toward abilities, or preferential placement on the page), so in one sense reacting to your own post is harmless. On the oth...
Quoting is sometimes necessary for context. Sometimes an answer needs to focus on one part of the question -- one claim, one line of code, etc. Not being able to quote would impede clarity. This...
The redesigned profile that came with the abilities branch now also shows a proper breakdown. Example:
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...
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...
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...
We need to create some better "new community" documentation, but moderators will be able to do most of what you need, so first we have to identify the initial moderators. (Eventually each communit...
