Post History

As other answers have said, we have some of these, they're helpful, and they can be hard to write.  On Codidact there's another option, should the community want to enable it: articles.

An article is another type of top-level post.  They're being used in a few different ways around the network: [longer-form papers on EE](https://electrical.codidact.com/categories/35), [resources on Languages & Linguistics](https://languages.codidact.com/categories/40), [blog on Meta](https://meta.codidact.com/categories/30), and a couple others.

In all of these examples, the articles are in a separate category that contains _only_ articles.  Search is global, so they'll still be found when someone searches on Q&A.  It is also possible to mingle Q&A and articles in the same category; our [developer collab community](https://collab.codidact.org/categories/56) does this.  The advantage is that all the content is together; the disadvantage is that when you start a post, you first have to choose a type, which is a non-trivial barrier to a newcomer with a question.  (Someday we might be able to make that smoother, but probably not soon.)  My personal advice at this time would be to use a different category; take a look at the examples I mentioned for ideas on what that could look like, and I'm happy to work with y'all to do what's best for this community.  You're the experts on what that is; I'm here to provide some capabilities if I can.
