Q&A Should we remove closed questions from the question list?

Should we exclude closed questions from the question list? Closed questions (and their answers) would still be linked on the owners' profiles, would be included in search results, and would produc...

Q&A How can I view my deleted posts?

I've just tested a small change that would always show your deleted posts on your own profile. Other users (without sufficient privileges) can't see them, as now. Should we always show you your d...

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 How are tabs handled in code blocks?

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...

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 Cannot accept suggested edits to my post, because I don't have permission to change moderator-only tags

Thanks for the report. The approval failed because the edit added a moderator-only tag -- default-rules on Code Golf, like the status-* tags, can only be added by moderators. But they can be sugg...

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

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 Should we modify the default (front) page for anonymous visitors?

A complaint we've heard a lot is that when a community's front page has many questions that are not well-received, it deters visitors. (It also deters some people who are already here, I know.) T...

How granular can data-import be for QPixel (I realize the answer might be different later for Codidact), and can it be done more than once? We know it's possible to import "everything", but which ...

Q&A Allow licence change when there's only one contributor

I agree that authors should be able to make an immediate edit to change the license -- you post, only then notice the default license, and can't fix it. That's frustrating. The workaround of dele...
