- I propose that the following is added:
- > **On-topic**
- >
- > - questions asking for code review that follow [the site policies for the code review category].
- Where [the site policies for code reviews] is a link to a separate help page:
- > When posting a code review, please post it under the specific code review category. These questions have specific rules different from the main Q&A.
- >
- > - The question must contain the complete copy+paste of the whole code, with no modifications.
- > - All code must be compiled and tested, with no known bugs. No hypothetical-/pseudo code.
- > - The poster should be the author of the code and describe what it does as part of the question.
- > - Optionally, add specific requests that reviews should focus on.
- > - Please provide as much information as possible about which compiler and system the code was tested on.
This category does not exist yet. Detailed discussion here: [Should we have a Code Review Section / category?](https://software.codidact.com/questions/278454). There is currently a strong community consensus in favour of making code review on-topic, and preferably as a category of its own.
