A: Pluralization typo in Help Center page "Guidelines for referencing and quoting" Fixed, thanks. I also took the opportunity to add a line about AI-generated content while I was editing that page. (more) |

It's not a standard help center article - even with global admin access, I can't modify that page. It needs to be changed in the seeds and then updated by a DB admin. (more) |

Also, the question talks about rep rewards - Codidact de-emphasizes reputation to a significant degree, and it's not really an important stat on the network. We've moved away from the model of having reputation as an extrinsic incentive. (more) |

A: Buggy text in Cooking site's help center I've fixed this - it looks like either that placeholder was never replaced or it was overwritten at some point and we didn't notice (we had an overwriting issue a few months or so ago that possibly could have caused this). As a side note, for anything only applicable to one Codidact community, suc... (more) |

In theory, a community can choose whatever licenses they want as long as it still allows us to distribute and use the content (such as for answers). There are defaults, but I don't see any reason that a community needs to be bound to a certain list. (more) |

> The page for licenses is per-site, but ideally, it should be a shared page for all the sites, as licensing is not just a responsibility of each site.
Different communities[^1] have different licenses available; for instance, communities with imported content have some posts under CC by-SA 3.0, a... (more) |

A: Could we adopt the domain “.cd”? This would require that we purchase a new domain for each community hosted on our network. As a non-profit project funded by donations, that's not a commitment we can make, nor the best use of the resources we do have. (more) |

Have you seen our [Codidact Code of Conduct](https://meta.codidact.com/policy/code-of-conduct)? Do you have any specific feedback on that document as written? At the moment, I'm finding it a bit unclear what this post is supposed to accomplish, so a little bit of explanation of what you'd like to com... (more) |

Add pending suggested edits to the dashboard The Dashboard is an easy way to get an overview of the whole network at a glance; on a single page, you can see where there's been new activity that you haven't seen yet, on a category-by-category basis, and global moderators and admins get an overview of all flags on the network. It'd be great if... (more) |

How do we want to organize the help center? Jon Ericson raised an interesting point in a recent Meta post: > I don't understand how the help page is organized. Oh wait! It's alphabetical by the title of the article. That's why "Advanced formatting help" comes before "Formatting Posts". I can sorta understand the difference between "Site Inf... (more) |

Help pages are post type "4" (HelpDoc) and policy pages such as the ToS are "PolicyDoc", post type 3. In theory, the search help indicates that you should be able to search for them using that the post type syntax, but it doesn't appear to actually work. (more) |

Hi sheela, thanks for the suggestion! I'm wondering what specifically you're referring to with "score" - do you mean the Wilson score (a number between 0 and 1 that appears when you hover over the bar or the vote counts), or are you referring to a combined view of the up- and downvotes?
I'm also a... (more) |

Recent outages and site reliability improvements We've recently been having some trouble with the uptime of the Codidact Network, with the entire network going down and becoming unavailable for stretches of time. The most egregious case was from November 17–18, 2023, when the network was down for a period of roughly 15 hours. Since then, we'v... (more) |

A: How do I "answer" a feature request or a bug report? In addition to what Monica wrote, yes, a bug report or a feature request is indeed a "call-to-action to the developers", and as such can only really be answered by the developers. Let me introduce you to the developers of the network: You. The entire platform is open-source and volunteer-devel... (more) |

A decorative image is an image that contains no information that is not already present in the text. Examples include images included for aesthetic purposes, or cases like a picture of a quote (such as from a manuscript) where the text is already present in the answer.

Add an explicit Markdown syntax for decorative images When uploading an image on a Codidact community, users are prompted to add alt text - a text alternative to an image - for that image. If they go to submit a post without doing so, or when submitting a post with blank alt text, they are reminded with a link to the help center page on alt text. How... (more) |

A: How to import my StackExchange questions into Codidact? Welcome to Codidact! This option refers to large-scale data imports that we performed on a couple communities - such as Writing and Outdoors - when we first started in 2019. However, we soon discovered that importing content wasn't good for us for multiple reasons, including making community-build... (more) |
