A: Proposal for reorganizing the Help Center Hi! Sigma here, one of the documentation co-leads along with Mithical. These are some great ideas. I agree with the overall sentiment that our Help pages could use some love. We face a bit of a challenge, where we have some topics that overlap between general Codidact "how-to" and community-speci... (more) |

Should we change the score required for the Curate trust level, and if so, to what? We have some really interesting comments on this answer about the current functionality of the Curate privilege that we wanted to break out into a separate discussion. Currently, all of our user abilities are calculated using a modified wilson scoring system. The Curate is a way for highly active... (more) |

Codidact marketing for community posts In the last few months the Codidact team has opened several pages across various social media platforms (see the bottom of this post for a list). Up until now the admins have occasionally shared posts on Twitter, but we’d like to use these platforms more intentionally to promote community content. ... (more) |

A: Should [status-completed] be used before the changes are live? A tag on the community meta should reflect the status as experienced by the community. A change in tag should communicate a change in experience. This allows users to provide feedback (it's working, it's not) rather than being unsure whether or not the new functionality is live because it might still... (more) |

A: Site for office suites This seems like a very specific topic that it would be difficult to find a sufficient initial userbase for. I do use both Microsoft Office and Google suite regularly, but I don't think (a question about every six months)(no. of users active on Codidact) is going to be enough to create an active commu...

A: Please postpone launching new communities. There have been comment responses with no follow-up from the original author on both posts, essentially saying that the development team has been unable to reproduce the issues described. We would definitely appreciate it if you could add additional details, but it's hard to troubleshoot a problem yo... (more) |

Add the ability to customize suspended user profile blurb There are currently only two choices available to add a "user is suspended" header on a profile. The two reasons are "for being rude" and "to cool down." Sometimes neither of these may be accurate. Can we add an option to add a custom reason? (more) |

A: Is gaining rep based on SE content ok? Do you have specific examples of this occurring? If you don't wish to call folks out here feel free to join our chat server and message one of the moderators or admins privately. We will not tolerate instances of abuse. Otherwise... the vast majority (maybe all?) of imported material came in with... (more) |

A: Please ensure cross-site uniformity for the basics of tagging One of the benefits of Codidact is that each community can use tags in the way that best supports their community. For example, Judaism supports hierarchical tagging for references, different tagsets are available for different categories, etc. Meta's tags are mainly used as a way for the site bu... (more) |

A: Languages 'supersite' Scope Question Is language learning and acquisition within scope? Presumably many community members will be learning a language; are questions about resources, learning routines, etc. on-topic? In a Discord discussion the question of translation and vocabulary came up - what would be in / out of s... (more) |

A: Bug Reports category We do technically have a dedicated bug reports channel on Github. Rather than making a separate category on Meta, it might make more sense to keep all bug reports relating to the software on Github. Eventually others might self-host Codidact instances, and having a central repository of known iss... (more) |

A: Cooking Codidact site Scope Clarification (this is a question, not an answer) How broad or focused should this site be? Is it restricted solely to the preparation of food, or are related topics like presentation, nutrition, food history, wine pairings, food sourcing and selection etc. also welcome? In other wor...

A: Tabletop Role Playing Games My main concern is the potential overlap with worldbuilding. However, I'd like to add some possible answers to the proposal requirements. Scope I think it makes sense to limit the site to tabletop RPG's. This is a specific but diverse category. I do not think limiting to just D&D is a good ide... (more) |

A: How should Codidact "advertise" and gain community members? A related question is whether advertising Codidact as a whole even makes sense, or if we should focus on advertising certain sites to their relevant communities. The latter is likely more effective - we're not wiki-how with a Q&A site for everything. For example, with the TRPG community I know ha... (more) |

A: Triggers for cognitive biases for non native English speakers in this site as web-accessibility issues Hey! Welcome to Codidact - we're glad you're here! Sorry you've had some confusion about the site layout. Qpixel (the current hosting platform) is an interim step to the final form, so a lot of things are definitely under construction. For example, the links at the bottom of each page to other s... (more) |
