There is currently a suggested edit in the Q&A category that appears to have no change (left and right sides of the diff are identical), and the post is not viewable (at least to me). Clicking ...
Codidact's communities have a lot of great content that is helping people on the Internet. Our communities are small, though, and sustainable communities depend on having lots of active, engaged p...
Look at the first paragraph of the /help/how-to-ask page, under the subheading "Make sure your question is in scope". The last line of the first paragraph has been quoted below for reference. Mark...
When we launched this community, we did not yet have the ability to set different reputation grants for different categories. We've had this for a while but we failed to follow up before now, sorr...
Why close https://writing.codidact.com/posts/286099 as a duplicate of https://writing.codidact.com/posts/286098? They are related, but distinguishable. Deleting (semi)colons ≠ deleting comma and a...
For some reason, I can't access my flags page (https://writing.codidact.com/users/53196/flags). It just returns a 500 server error. It seems to only be only on this community for some reason; I ca...
Aside from the challenges category, it crossed my mind that it'd be nice to have a place where people can share works for feedback (or just to share). For instance, if I've put together a short sto...
We've had low activity on our community for a while. Low activity means people visit less often, which means lower activity because they're not here asking and answering... iterate. We have ads a...
The links in the banner text for the Q&A category all lead to 404s due to (I assume) outdated links. E.g. "fiction" leads to https://writing.codidact.com/questions/tagged/1/fiction instead of h...
I just got caught by something I consider a bug: I wanted to link to a web site, and used the link button above the entry box to do so. After I finished entering (or rather, pasting) the link into ...
I just noticed that some of my old meta questions here are marked as imported on my profile page, although they clearly weren't (they were meta questions about this site; there's no reason why I wo...
I've been away for some time (for personal reasons), and noticed that we now have a category “writing challenges”. Now there are some old challenges in Meta which predate that category, but IMHO wo...
This is a draft request, to set a standard for others interested in migrating in scope work from ebooks.stackexchange.com to writing.codidact.com See related Would content at ebooks.se be in scope ...
Feature Request/Suggestion: Comments It could just be me, but I've noticed that there's a lot of space between answers. More than once, I've looked at a question and thought it wasn't answered, onl...
Just checked: the tags for regular questions and for Meta are all available everywhere. I can ask a question tagged "feature-request" on the main page, for instance. Is it possible to have them sep...
I tried to upvote this answer but my vote doesn't seem to register. Maybe it is because it is owned by System, but then, there are other answers owned by System that already have upvotes. Note that...
I encountered a bug today while writing an answer. If I write my answer, and then put headers in the middle of it using the heading button, my cursor jumps to the end of my answer. So if I went bac...
I was writing a question today *applause occurs immediately*. When I went to tag it, I was able to select the 'characters' tag just fine. But then I tried to add 'creative-writing', and found that ...
Is there a way to see a list of tags? When I want to answer questions, it'd be helpful if I can zero in on areas of interest.
We just got hierarchical tags. A tag can have one or more children, and when you search on a tag you can either search just that tag or also search its children. This gives us another way to orga...
Strange import artifacts. I was looking at this post recently imported from books.se https://writing.codidact.com/questions/276013 It has several things as answers that are posts from writers.se.
Would content at https://ebooks.stackexchange.com/ be in scope here? I happened by the ebooks.meta and saw this post Are there any members interested in assisting as an official moderator? A few...
When we set up this site we imported from SE as of the December data dump (the latest we had at the time). We didn't have a way to get the delta; the import code didn't use the API. We now have b...
The "last activity" data on posts appears to be inaccurate. I just answered a question, but while the answer count shows my answer, the last activity data still refers to the time the question was ...
In SomeOther systems, there is an easy way to mark an Answer as the "accepted answer". I don't see an obvious way to do that here. Is there a way? If not, should there be?
I suggest having "Meta", being the least "real" on each Community, be the last Category in the (currently horizontal menu) list. If others disagree, then it can be as-is. But whether that gets cha...
Apropos of the Sequence of Categories can I suggest some standardization of the naming of categories. In particular, I would suggest renaming "Q&A" as "Questions". Yes, questions have answers, ...
Some Q&A websites such as StackExchange require from people asking questions to share "minimal prior research" that they had done to try to answer their question themselves (and often also juxt...
I tried to access the Writing main Q&A RSS feed at https://writing.codidact.com/categories/1/feed.rss (through the Category RSS Feed link at the bottom of https://writing.codidact.com/ and http...
The writing challenges we've done in the past were fun and helped us flex our muscles, especially if they nudged us into new types of writing. Let's bring those back! I have created the Challenge...
You might have noticed the new "categories" feature on this site. I mean this: What are categories? Categories are types of content -- main Q&A and Meta are the two that all sites share, b...
What happened to the Questions Tab? We used to be able to see multiple pages of questions and view them in different ways, including "Lottery". Now there is just one page of questions with no navig...
Welcome to a new home for the Writing community. Please use it, report problems and make requests on Meta, and collect your thoughts about what we need to support our community. This site is runn...
I have a notification. I click on it, but the notification doesn't go away. This always happens. (After a while, it does disappear, but I don't know when.) For example, to get to the question Ther...
One thing I really miss from SE is the ability to see what answers of mine got upvoted since I last logged in (or in the last day). In other words, where did my rep increase come from. Because va...
It seems like this place has ground to a stop. I have been trying to do what was suggested earlier of going back to old questions (as surfaced by the Lottery tab), but that seems to be all that is ...
I'm a longtime Stack Exchange user. I wonder why this site doesn't have an accept button?
By "new questions in here", I mean it's like 20 new questions of that new user flood up the homepage at one time.
I just noticed that when you go to the users page and select the age tab, the start of the list is dominated by user names that are obvious spam. While they are not very effective because few peop...
(Okay, design changes have a-come.) If you're wondering what happened here, the short of it is that the site's design has been updated to use the Codidact design framework, which will make the eve...
Doesn't mean that I'm saying it looks bad. but certainly it could be better. On first look, I see raw twitter bootstrap styling. Although it looks little bit cleaner, but we can add some clean mini...
One of our community members, Paulster2, has created some ads and submitted them on SE sites where we've advertised in the past. These are "community promotion" ads, meaning the SE communities vot...
On SE, Writing and Worldbuilding are separate, and it works pretty well. I, however, use the Worldbuilding SE significantly more than the Writing SE, and as I reduce my usage of SE I would like a p...
Hi! I'm an SE user and I'm here because I'm curious about what's happening here and because I support the goals of this site. I have one quibble with what's being presented here, that I hope you u...
When we created this site, I made the executive decision to import all our content from Stack Exchange instead of starting with a blank slate. I did that for a few reasons: We have a lot of good...
I notice we aren't getting a lot of new questions on here yet. Last summer we had a series of writing challenges in Meta, like this one: https://writing.meta.stackexchange.com/q/2127 I'd like to ...
I recently subscribed to notifications for new questions posted on the site, but as a result I'm being spammed with a daily list of questions that have any change, including very old questions with...
One element of the former platform that I made great use of, was the ability to assign 'Favourite' status to a question that I particularly wanted to be able to find again. This feature made it a s...
I did not find a webpage that explains what's on-topic here (although I'm not hugely familiar with the site). Question: What topics can I ask about here? It seems plausible that what's on-topic a...
