Hi folks—it’s been a while. A question: does anyone have a link to something in the help center or an official and/or highly-upvoted meta answer that advises against tagging questions with technologies mentioned in the question but that the question is not about?

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

@AlexisKing There is a suggested edit rejection reason with that. Let me see if there's a post...

Alexis King

Yeah, the problem is that in this case the person editing the tags back in is the OP.

user1271772

23:12

@AlexisKing We have to correct that

Q: How do I correctly tag my questions?

Here are some tips for tagging questions. These guidelines will help you more accurately tag your questions, which in turn will help them get more attention and lead to better answers faster. For more information, see "What are tags, and how should I use them?" in the Help Center. Return to...

Alexis King

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog I found that, but it wasn’t as explicit as I was hoping. The closest thing it says is “Don't try to summarize your question using the tags,” but it isn’t as quick and to the point as the edit reject reason is.

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

@AlexisKing Lemme fix that.

user1271772

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog You're going to write another answer?

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

@user1271772 Edit the FAQ

It’s community wiki.

Andras Deak

@rene it's hard to be calm with that horrible grammatical error sticking out like a sore thumb

@ArtOfCode (cc: @Magisch) I haven't seen anything unusual. The userscript just inserts the link for opening the dialog and causes SE's code to recognize it. Opening and operation of the dialog is entirely in SE's regular code. I'm happy to add something additional, but I haven't seen any issues. I need more info to duplicate the problem. I've intended to add some functionality (post preview, as I'm not happy opening a flag dialog w/o seeing the post), so don't have a problem working on the script.

rene

@AndrasDeak I guess that is part of the joke

Andras Deak

whose laughing >:(

Alexis King

23:19

:/

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

@AlexisKing Done, edited. You can use it now.

Alexis King

Thanks!

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

@rene You seem awake for longer than usual

rene

@AndrasDeak no-one is laughing today

user1271772

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog You don't get any points for editing community wiki?

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

23:20

@user1271772 No, unless you have an account with < 100 rep

rene

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog yes, is that a problem?

Andras Deak

@rene What happened today? Are you all upset by the decision to redefine the kilogram in terms of Planck's constant?

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

@rene Just a statement of fact.

user1271772

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog People with < 100 rep get 2 points for it, and then after they hit 100 they don't get any more points? Does that include "association bonus" which @Catja talked about earlier today?

Andras Deak

association bonus is real rep as far as I know

user1271772

23:22

Some things don't include association bonus right?

Makyen

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog Don't you mean <2k rep and less than 1k rep from editing?

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

@Makyen Editing CW.

Q: What happened to meta Town Hall chats?

As the title of the announcement post suggests, Town Hall chats are currently on hiatus. Why were they discontinued after six sessions? Weren't there plans to run them every two weeks? If I remember correctly, they brought in quite a few people from different branches about SE and allowed them t...

discussion support chat town-hall-chat

user1271772

Are you sure he's going to respond like that? Don't you have to do @Shog09 ?

rene

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog don't you think they'll see it on the active tab of the site? In other words: are the pings needed?

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

@rene They were previously discussing that here.

Also, it assumes they are actively watching that tab, which they may not be.

Kevin B

23:34

i feel like we've been down this road before

user1271772

But does it also work without the 0 before the 9 ?

Catija

@rene yep. I saw it five minutes before I got pinged.

user1271772

@Catija It takes 5 minutes for the ping to happen?

rene

I rest my case

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

I don't know if she's watching the page or not.

user1271772

23:35

For me it happens right away. @Catija, you also didn't get the notification about happy hour? Maybe there's a bug?

The ping does not take 5 minutes for me it just happens right away

rene

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog now you know she does

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

@user1271772 I asked the question and she saw it on the homepage 5 minutes before I pinged her.

user1271772

Oh you asked it without pinging, and then 5 minutes later pinged ?

I don't think Shog09 would have seen it though...

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

@rene Is she guaranteed to watch the list all the time? Is she guaranteed to watch the list at this time of day every day?

@user1271772 Yes.

user1271772

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog Those things are not guaranteed actually

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

23:37

@user1271772 Exactly my point.

user1271772

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog Agreed

rene

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog yes. And if she doesn't you won't know unless you check on her 24/7. Which is rather creepy.

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

@rene It is very creepy indeed. Much less creepy to assume that she's not, and if she isn't and by the time she looks if the homepage is swamped with other posts, she still knows to check it out.

user1271772

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog Sonic, it appears that your Meta reputation is the highest out of all your reputations

Catija

Is MSE ever swamped with posts on the weekend?

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

23:43

@Catija It happened once, it could happen again, but yes, I'm aware that most of the time it languishes on the weekend. But in the rare case this weekend is different...

rene

I think I have done enough damage here. I'll leave you to it. I get some sleep.

Catija

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog I'd appreciate if you waited to ping me about stuff - particularly non-urgent stuff - for at least a couple of days. This gives others who may be better able to answer the chance to do so.

user1271772

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog, Catja recently had a baby

Catija

Questions like that don't necessarily need immediate responses... and I'm not working right now, so even if something is changing in the near term, I wouldn't know about it.

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

@Catija Wasn't asking for a response; you were talking about this earlier and I wanted to make sure you were aware of it.

@user1271772 Yep, I'm just a few points short of earning 10,000 rep this calendar year

I have the distinction of earning 10k overall in the first year of my account existing

Journeyman Geek

23:49

@Catija alas no. It's almost like people use SE at work

Catija

Your ping doesn't say that, though... it gives nothing. Consider saying something like "since we were talking about the town halls earlier, I asked this question on MSE about it".

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

cv-pls meta.stackexchange.com/questions/318429/…

@Catija Yeah, I should have made it a reply instead.

user1271772

@Catija Can you not say "Please consider" instead of just "Consider" ?

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog @rene, did you use the "lost soul" button on that ???? I tried to but seems you already did first !!

Journeyman Geek

@user1271772 ehhh

user1271772

@Glorfindel, it appears there might be a bug in your App: The score on the question was -1. I clicked "lost soul" and it became -2, then I un-downvoted, and it became 0.

Catija

23:52

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog a reply doesn't really help. Something in the ping itself that tells me what it's about without actually having to go to chat.

Journeyman Geek

I think appropriate people pinging is an ongoing work in hopeful progress with @SonictheAnonymousHedgehog :p

user1271772

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog No one else got 10k within 1 year? Not even Shog09 ?

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

@user1271772 Shog is an employee, he might have.

user1271772

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog An employee where?

I'm also employed

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

@user1271772 SE employee.

user1271772

23:54

There's people that are employees of SE ?

I thought it was all volunteer based like Wikipedia

They even said that the mods were volunteers man

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

@user1271772 There are people who are employees of the Wikimedia Foundation

user1271772

Is Jimmy Wales one of them?

Journeyman Geek

@user1271772 yeah. It's even a privately held, for profit org

Catija

Considering Shog's got 300k and MSE isn't 30 years old, it's a safe bet that he's earned more than 10 k in a year several times.

user1271772

@JourneymanGeek Not Wikipedia though right? Only SE?

Journeyman Geek

23:57

There's a bunch of SE employees, a lot of them invisible to us

@user1271772 idk. Not really a wikipedian

user1271772

:7373897: Shog09 is 30 years old?

@Catija Shog09 is 30 years old?

Journeyman Geek

Probably not.

Neither is SE :p

user1271772

@JourneymanGeek I head that Singaporeans were good at math

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

@Catija By the way, I tried out the food at Spider House a couple weeks ago, and I didn't really like it. Did I order the wrong stuff?

Journeyman Geek

@user1271772 not all
