Tools button doesn't do anything when clicked Here on Meta, I see beneath a question a "🔧 Tools" button. It looks clickable (my mouse turns into a hand and the background changes onhover) but nothing happens when I click it. On Electrical Engineering, the button doesn't appear for me at all, so I assume I've gained some permission on Meta that ... (more) |

Is Linux too narrow? Should we include all UNIX-like systems? Is Linux too broad, allowing all sorts of questions related to any library usable on Linux? What is the intended scope here? (more) |

A: Automatically clean up tags with zero posts I think that if the tag has a (long- or short-form) description then it should not be automatically deleted. I can imagine a case where some enterprising soul writes descriptions for every conceivable tag in a set (e.g. every book of the Bible, for the Judaism site, or every core Perl 5 function, for...

I also just reproduced on Windows Chrome despite it looking normal when I checked a few days ago. Very strange! (No special language settings.) (more) |

The page specifies it's in English and nothing lower-level specifies otherwise or RTL as far as I can see, so that really shouldn't happen. I wonder whether perhaps you have a browser setting that specifies right-to-left or Hebrew (or another RTL) language for some things. (more) |

A: Comments improvements to indicate assent or dissent with previously posted comments I support the me-too feature, as it saves people from repeating existing comments (and others from reading them). I don't think we should have up- and downvotes on comments, as they don't necessarily indicate assent and dissent (respectively): they may, for example, indicate that someone thinks th... (more) |

A: Add a [status-pending] or similar tag I think that whether something is actively being worked on or planned on being worked on is irrelevant to the end user: either way, he doesn't have it yet but will after some indefinite amount of time. So this might as well be subsumed within the "status-planned" tag. (more) |

I think that's fine if the tag descriptions clearly indicate that's what it means. (more) |

@Lundin I doubt that's a big source of confusion among anglophones. "Office Software" sounds like it would include all sorts of software used primarily for offices, e.g. CRM systems and Git, whereas ["Office Suites" is narrower](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Comparison_of_office_suites&o...

As far as I can see, the sites' FAQs and this Meta site do not address the purpose of comments. What is their raison d'être? Are they meant to be permanent or ephemeral? What should they contain? Until we sort those more fundamental questions out, I don't think we can really discuss whether they shou... (more) |

FR: Meta categories I notice that all the other Codidact sites have Meta categories, places to ask about the site itself, but this one doesn't. I think this site should have a Meta category where people can ask questions about Meta Codidact. And then it should also have a Meta Meta category, where people can ask questio... (more) |

A: Second Iteration of Drafting the Codidact Arbitration & Review Panel I propose that we need a clause governing the criteria and process for removing a panel member in the very rare case that that should come up. (But I don't know what such criteria or process should be.) (more) |

indicate when a comment has been moderator-edited I don't like the idea that someone's signature can appear on a piece of text that he didn't write or approve. I'm guessing moderators can edit comments. If so, can a moderator-edited comment please include some indication that it was so edited? Perhaps a content history (like posts have) or, if that'...

Search by category I think a search mechanism that allows filtering by category would be useful. For example, if I want to find a recipe for a specific food or with a specific ingredient on the cooking pages, I could limit my search to the recipe category. (more) |

"Scope" meaning the subject matter covered? (That's what "scope" means as far as I know.) Those two questions have the same subject matter. They differ not in scope but in specificity, or how broad an answer they can get. I agree the first question is bad and the second is good, but it's not a qu... (more) |

A: Remove parent tags from a post where a child tag is present It's not always correct to remove a parent tag, and therefore such removal should probably not be done automatedly — or, at least, if it is done automatedly, should be sensitive to human intervention so it doesn't re-remove a tag that someone has re-added after automated removal. For example, i... (more) |

A: Can we move questions? I don't think we should have this feature. In my (limited) experience at Stack Exchange, when people suggest moves to other sites they, by and large, do not know the proposed recipient site's mores and topics to know whether the post would be wanted there. And even when it a certain question would in... (more) |
