@Moshi Yes that's quite likely the same issue. (more) |

Just for the record, this is the 3rd time or so this was reported. I reported the same bug [here](https://meta.codidact.com/questions/278077) and that was closed as dupe to this report [here](https://meta.codidact.com/questions/276896). I'll close those two as dupes to this one since it now got statu... (more) |

| Question | — |
Can't edit a question just to add tags. One can apparently not make an edit to a post just to change the tags. There is a message that nothing was changed because I didn't edit the post. Well, I didn't edit the body of the post, just the tags. This makes it impossible to add/correct tags to otherwise perfectly fine questions, so I belie... (more) |

What's even the purpose of that site? "I found a random picture of a place on the Internet and now I want to go there"? Decent sources usually list where a photo was taken, by whom. In fact publishing photos on the Internet (or elsewhere) without permission from the photographer is legally questionab... (more) |

Are there any plans of having unused tags "age away" and delete themselves like on SE? It was quite handy, since the community could remove tags without involving moderators. (more) |

@Monica Cellio I noticed that you've added status-pending to some site suggestions such as this one. What does this mean specifically, since it is apparently different from status-needs-people? (more) |

Please don't assume that people who discuss launching new sites are interested in contributing to the content once launched. I'm only here because this community would offer a place to migrate questions from other other communities where I'm active. I'm not likely to be active on this one, though. (more) |

I have this bug too in Firefox. Very easy to reproduce: reload the whole site such as meta.codidact.com, click on inbox - dropdown appears. Click on a post to open it, then click on the inbox. The dropdown is now broken. If you refresh the page, the bug disappears. (more) |

Also, illegal content ought to be covered by the CoC and not by community scope. (more) |

Wouldn't all of this be covered either by a "Power User" site or a Law site? Or in case it's a pure technical question about how to implement something, Software Dev. Seems to me that the scope of this proposed site will be far to narrow to get an active community. (more) |

@Moshi I don't think such questions belong on Writing at all, except maybe if the question is about writing lyrics yourself. A separate category for a music site sounds like the best fit to me, if we are to welcome such questions. (more) |

A: Music site, for both fans and musicians > Is this list complete? Are there any other types of questions you'd like to see in such a site? > How musically-related must a question be?

A: A "Super user" like community to include Q&As about software applications usage Just to throw out another idea: why restrict the scope to use of software? The scope could also include the use of PC hardware and use of other consumer electronics. With different categories. A lot of trouble-shooting software questions will be borderline hardware questions. Also, similar to how... (more) |

A: What criteria are used to determine to launch a new community? I think this answer by @laserkittens to a community proposal is very interesting. It does not just keep track over how many that are interested, but also a qualified guess over how active the users will be, if they are potential mod material and so on. This is something that a user cooked up thems... (more) |

Both EE and Judaism had lots of veteran users and mods from SE coming over and that's simply the main reasons why those two communities seem to do OK. This is exactly why I insist that we should look for how many such core users a community can count on before launching. We can argue about the exact ... (more) |

As things stand, we have some ~3-4 "ghost towns" and also several sites struggling with participation. The ghost towns in particular should probably not have been launched. It looks bad on the network as whole if you have lots of dead communities. (more) |

@Mithrandir24601 I said mods _or_ domain expert/professional. Like if you launch the Cooking site, you might want at least 10 people who are either willing to do moderator work, _or_ work professionally in the restaurant business _or_ has cooking as a major hobby/passion. Not 4-5 people who say "yea... (more) |

I think it will be misguiding to count the number of casually interested. Those might not end up very active, lose interest or just end up as passive "readers". Maybe we should ask how many that are willing to act as moderators or consider themselves domain experts (or at least professional). That gi... (more) |

One thing I would imagine that you need to address in your scope is what to do with questions of the nature "It is said that [popular work of fiction x] was inspired by the Bible - why is that?". I'd expect these kind of questions to be very common & the poster would be someone who just came across s... (more) |

A: A badge! A badge for completing the Codidactyl Tour. Or even several badges!! And points!! There are 3 non-related things we might want to keep track of or reward: - user activity - the user is active on the site - moderator suitability - the user does user moderator tasks - domain knowledge If that is done with badges or score etc probably doesn't matter much. But if we for e... (more) |

A fairly common reason why users change their name on SO is that they used their RL name and then homework vampires figured out how to get in touch with them over email or social media, to pester them with even more homework questions. (more) |

On SE, duplicate chains mattered a lot. They used the number of duplicates to a post to determine if it was "frequent" and they used it to determine if a post could be closed/deleted etc. It doesn't seem unlikely that Codidact will come up with a similar needs in the future. Posts that are duplicates... (more) |

| Question | — |
It is possible to close a question as duplicate to itself. I wanted to close one of my own meta posts as duplicate, but accidentally pasted the URL to the question I was closing. The site accepted that the post got closed as duplicate to itself. In my opinion, this shouldn't be allowed, since it doesn't make any sense. (more) |

I would imagine that the main reason SE displays it, is to see which posts that are most profitable. They refuse to delete some bad or off-topic old posts if they have enough traffic. We hopefully will have no need for that. But maybe there are other uses - knowing which ones that are high traffic vs... (more) |

I've infrequently had this problem too, where the site forgets about me and I have to log in again, even though "remember me" was always checked. It got nothing to do with cookies. Happens intermittently maybe once per month, on several different computers. (more) |

A: Future planning: what user preferences would be useful? Assuming the favourite tags per community feature gets implemented, then how about some manner of social media-like "feed"/start page?

This means that if I wish to discuss a tag in the main site on meta, I might actually be discussing a tag with the same name but different meaning and tagi wiki on meta. Seems messy.

@Moshi Eh, have you ever used Discord? It is obvious that it tracks what programs you have installed and which ones that are currently running. Then it sends that information to a server. The very definition of spyware. And yes Steam does that too, but only if you agree to participate in a "survey". ... (more) |

Discord has always been a [nasty piece of spyware](https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/discord.html). Never understood why it got so popular. And no, I won't use it either, it tracks pretty much everything possible to track. (more) |

@Monica Cellio But because of licensing, we can't really edit them to shape during import, right? Like merging two answers into one. It's either grab the answer(s) as-is or leave it be? (more) |

So a complete re-write of these canonical "patchworks" would be ideal, not just importing them out of habit. Codidact offers a fresh start to do just that. Also, some of the old canonical posts might be outdated, particularly when it comes to tech communities. (more) |

While this might be useful, I'd still be very restrictive with what to import. I've been re-reading through various canonical posts on SE that I've been used as duplicate targets there for years. And found that most of them are not actually that good, suffering from "fragmented answers" where answer ... (more) |

I think this might be very specific to the particular community. On SO I've made lots of community wikis and the problem was rather to get others involved, rather than bad edits. Or it might simply be that SO is so vast that posts easily drown there. (more) |
