@jou Migrating this removed the record of the status-review tag being added - that revision was scrubbed from the Timeline.

Journeyman Geek

@Rob Its fine

SO mods are aware its moved

Rob

I didn't know that tags and revisions could be erased by migration - GTK.

Journeyman Geek

I think status tags are 'special'

Q: What is migration and how does it work?

I posted a question which was closed as off-topic and it seems like it could fit on another site in the network. How can I go about moving it there? What is migration? When can a question be migrated, and who can migrate it? When should I consider migration, and when is it inappropriate? What c...

@Rob @JourneymanGeek See the second bullet of the section Anything else I should know about migration?

...and its sub-bullets

Journeyman Geek

Not too concerned with the tags not migrating. Between the SO mods and talk here I think there will be appropriate awareness

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog huh! Had no idea Yaakov posted this, lol

Luuklag

@ShadowTheVaccinatedWizard And most is it attributed to community, which are all minor script revision

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

@Luuklag yeah lol it's totally off. The algorithm that calculate the percentage just compare changed lines. Enough to change something in a line (even "i" to "I") to add that line to the overall "change count".

Nice feature request would be to omit edits by Community or anonymous visitor from the calculation.

Then Sonic would be the top editor on that post.

Luuklag

@ShadowTheVaccinatedWizard yeah, but also quite minor thing to have

But if I have time to spare I might write it up

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

@Luuklag more minor than confetti? ;)

@AnnZenat1YearAnniversary yes

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

@AnnZenat1YearAnniversary well there's no technical restriction. Why do you ask?

Ann Zen at 1 Year Anniversary

@MetaAndrewT. Thanks.

@ShadowTheVaccinatedWizard Because the deleted answer doesn't link to the comment.

So I was wondering if it's because the comment won't get too lost anyway.

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

@AnnZenat1YearAnniversary true, it never did, I think.

@Tinkeringbell is that the view from your room?

@rene Nah, that's the view from some 'ramptourist'/'calamiteitenfotograaf' (never know which separates the two).

It's also not in the same town, but people in the town next to it (downwind) are also advised to close doors/windows/stay inside, apparently.

@Glorfindel next time you say goodbye to a spammer in French, could you find something that doesn't imply we'd be happy to see them again? :P

Glorfindel

@Tinkeringbell oops, forgot that 'revoir' literally means 'to see again'. I was thinking of a movie clip, but now I forgot which movie it was...

Tinkeringbell

Well I didn't get the reference but it did make me chuckle :D

Spevacus

@Glorfindel "Au revoir, Shoshana"? :)

@Spevacus that movie is brilliant (I watch it every year in May, around Liberation Day, May 5th in the Netherlands) but not the one I was thinking of

If a suggested edit gets two reviews that reject it as spam does it count the same as if it recieved six flags for spam?

Percentage of characters not reverted (which is challenging to calculate) would be more useful than total edits.

@Luuklag That is written in the FAQ, if you actually read the whole thing it's clearly written up.

Q: Disregard automated edits from the Community user when calculating the authors percentage of a Community Wiki post

Community Wiki post show a "main author" and the percentage of the current post that is "theirs". The algorithm used to determine this percentage is old, (really old in internet years), and rather simplistic. It basically determines the number of lines that were changed, and that is that. If you ...

"Many people say that the Australian government is hiding Tasmanian devils so they could have unique doggies and no one else could. Which SE site to post this on?"
