It's documented here meta.stackexchange.com/questions/101619/…

Though, others seem to be more mixed towards the feature meta.stackexchange.com/a/82702/351462

I specifically wanted to mention this to him to explain my recent tag edits. meta.stackexchange.com/review/suggested-edits/50407

πάντα ῥεῖ

@StevenVascellaro I'm actually thinking your concerns regarding contacting a particular user should be extrapolated for a feature request to allow kinda commenting and voting about tag wiki (edits).
An answer might be you should achieve enough reputation to edit tag-wikis, and counter edit these yourself,

user315433

Discussion pages for tag wikis!

Steven Vascellaro

@πάνταῥεῖ Funnily enough, the vast majority of my wiki edits are being approved.

πάντα ῥεῖ

@Gerry NOPE!

Steven Vascellaro

Also, lol no. I've contributed to Wikipedia. Discussion pages would not fit the Stack Exchange model

But yeah, I don't know how to contact a user about a suggested edit review

πάντα ῥεῖ

12:06 AM

@StevenVascellaro If you have enough rep, you could start an edit war. :-P

Steven Vascellaro

Lmao no

Would editing tag wikis be a 2,000 or 5,000 rep thing? Can't tell from the privleges page

@StevenVascellaro So settle down and take a good glass of wine (or beer) ;-)

Journeyman Geek

@πάνταῥεῖ could be a FR anyway ;p

πάντα ῥεῖ

@StevenVascellaro I didn't lookup, but I think it's similar like reviewed edits below 2k and forcing edits above that.

@JourneymanGeek I'm not sure that would fly well.

@Journey Would you really want to start a discussion in comments about your trusted edits at a post?

user315433

@StevenVascellaro The exist on Documentation, and tag wikis are closer to Documentation than to Q&A.

user315433

12:15 AM

They are sort of pre-historic Documentation.

Steven Vascellaro

@Gerry I don't really know much about the Documentation section

πάντα ῥεῖ

@Gerry I mentioned that. Though do you really think discussion is necessary there?

Journeyman Geek

@πάνταῥεῖ no. But people can always find me on chat so they can gave a chat on chat ;p

@JourneymanGeek Well, at least currently finding me at chat is a bad and dead end experience ;-)

@JourneymanGeek I'm not that kind of user creating sockpuppets to circumvent that. I don't think of that being smart at all :P

@JourneymanGeek That's because you are probably reading the human the wrong way. Instead of trying to monitor their emotions, it's best to trying to figure out their motives

hello, anyone here?

Journeyman Geek

Vaguely :p

It's been quiet today

can i ask a question you might be able to answer?

i found a bug on the ios app, and posted a question on the arqade meta. i then realized that the app has a thing that requests bugs be asked about on meta.se, so should I create another question on meta.se that describes the problem and reference the original, flag the original for migration, or just leave it?

Journeyman Geek

You might have just asked one, but sure, you can try another?

8:30 AM

ive heard that any question on any site tagged with bug is sent to the devs, but i havent used meta.se much besides reading policies and such, so im not sure of how everything is handled here.

@JourneymanGeek clever. see message above yours for my question :)

Journeyman Geek

Ah. CMs monitor site meta's. But in this case, ask for a migration.

There's a specific dev who does iOS and he watches meta.se

ok thanks. ill flag the question for migration

Labour Day (Labor Day in the United States) is an annual holiday to celebrate the achievements of workers. Labour Day has its origins in the labour union movement, specifically the eight-hour day movement, which advocated eight hours for work, eight hours for recreation, and eight hours for rest. For most countries, Labour Day is synonymous with, or linked with, International Workers' Day, which occurs on 1 May. For other countries, Labour Day is celebrated on a different date, often one with special significance for the labour movement in that country. In Canada and the United States, Labour Day...

There's a workaround: institute the policy that every chat message must contain "lol". Then we can use search for "lol" to sort the messages by stars.

i'm pretty sure that 45% is a lie, too. it sort of plummets to 0 from 10%.

Journeyman Geek

@JasonC might not be straighfroward

the cells are spot welded + sometimes there's a chip that remembers that cells are dead

i can do the connections, but the chip, hm, i wonder. only one way to find out. maybe there's a secret fw command to reset that, too.

Journeyman Geek

2:38 PM

I can walk into their store in Sim Lim Square, and have a reasonable chance of getting a battery there cheaper than the original manufacturer that won't blow up on me.

why would it do that? to prevent overheating / fires?

some guy on youtube did a battery repair like that on rechargeable tool batteries, he found the dead cells by looking at the ones that got unreasonably hot while recharging.

are you one of those iot toilet flusher people

noting employees somehow on meta is something we've debated serveral times

Journeyman Geek

@NickCraver its vaguely obvious on meta.

i suggest 💩

2:47 PM

only if you have a diamond

Journeyman Geek

@JasonC .-.

e.g. if I'm answering something sometimes I should be an employee/authoritative, but often I'm just a community member and should have no special indicator

@JourneymanGeek i resent that, pudding is a good thing

everybody loves dessert.

note for example reddit, sometimes the admins are red, often they're not - it's on the post/comment, not the person

Journeyman Geek

@NickCraver Kinda, but what you say has a little weight.

2:48 PM

@JourneymanGeek it usually shouldn't though, I'm an idiot and freely admit this

@NickCraver maybe something like changing the color of your username links or something. with an option to not show the color change if you want the post to be "unofficial".

i dunno it's easy enough to tell. fwiw as a user i have no problem identifying employees. usually you can just look at somebody's profile. also, context.

Journeyman Geek

@NickCraver its a problem mods have, though obviously to a lesser extent.

(I occationally say stuff and go "Unmodhattedly I think so")

and also a lot of times it doesn't matter. for stuff like answers to questions, if a post is reasonable then its reasonable, diamond or not.

the indicator itself isn't really the point of the discussion: that's minor, where and when to show one is the thing

user315433

@JourneymanGeek Being idiots?

Journeyman Geek

2:50 PM

@Gerry that too.

my thinking has moved to: it should be a bit on the post, but not my call and back burnered for now anyway

I'm just responsible for making whatever we do go very fast =P

if a non-diamond says "we have a script on the servers that runs weekly and deletes all comments containing links to rick astley videos" i don't think anybody would question it.

Journeyman Geek

@NickCraver which is appreciated.

@JasonC oh, people would ask for citations.

and others would complain its essential

and we'd happily give them speeding tickets

(and some of the clueless just wander off)

one of my favorite things ever, is every year we've got this festival, about 2500-3000 people, i run the parking lot and gate. i love it, because it's ridiculously fun to tell unticketed hippies to turn around and go home. every once in a while, when we're lucky, it gets physical.
