Q&A Improving the "copy link" button

"Copy Link" is on top-level posts for consistency with answers. On an answer the URL takes you straight to that answer, which isn't what would be in your URL bar. (I think the work on the threade...

Q&A What are duplicate questions?

There is no one, over-arching rule across the network. Communities are self-governing (within the limits of what we can host). I agree with this answer. Personally, I think duplicates should be ...

Q&A Observations about the Incubator "emergence-effect" and deadlocking

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...

Q&A What is Codidact's policy regarding artificial intelligence-generated content?

Due to a technical limitation (working on it...) I can't mark this as a duplicate of our network gen-AI policy, but see that link. To summarize: Presenting non-original work as your own is a ...

Q&A Minor suggested edits to old posts

One of the linked questions, about not bumping minor edits, has a suggestion that would have helped in this case: allow edit reviewers to decide if an edit is minor. For that to happen, at last tw...

Q&A "Needs author's attention" should not be a flag option

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 ...

Q&A How can users submit a GDPR request (e.g. delete account, rectify data, etc) online?

We don't have a form, but you can email us to request this. From the privacy policy: As an international organisation, we extend the rights granted by the EU GDPR to everyone. Therefore, all ou...

Q&A How can we poll a community?

The approach of one answer per option has another benefit: someone might think of something else, or propose a refinement of an existing option. I recommend that approach -- describe the problem i...

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 How can I see a list of all my deleted questions?

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...

Q&A New site setup process?

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...

Q&A How are the different site header colors picked? Can the community request a color change?

There's a list of about a dozen colors that are available. The choices are largely arbitrary. We want the logo and color to not clash (those can be determined in either order), and since we don't...

Q&A CC BY-SA 3.0 license doesn't show

The imported post is CC BY-SA 3.0 because that's how the source (Stack Exchange) licensed it. That notice reports a license. The list of licenses you can choose when posting here is unrelated. T...

Q&A Disallowing quoting question parts in answers, rather, in comments only

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...

Q&A What about having a category in Meta for documentation about the platform?

This is an interesting idea. We have help, but only moderators can edit it. We want documentation about the platform (as opposed to how our network or particular communities operate) to end up in...

Q&A When clicking "mark read" it shows a 0 when it should actually dissapear.

Q&A Can we have customised text in the "Posting Tips" banner for each post type?
