| Question | — |
How do I configure Jenkins to strip the leading “origin/” in git branch parameter? I'm using Jenkins with a branch parameter to specify the branch to build from. Other stuff downstream needs the branch name to not have the leading "origin/" -- just "feature/blahblah" or "bugfix/12345" or similar. The advanced settings for the parameter let me specify a branch filter via regex, but ... (more) |

Right now close reasons are per-community, not per-community-per-category. We could adopt a convention like "[CR] reason" and "[Q&A] reason" for the ones that are unique to a category, until category-specific reasons are possible. (more) |

A category can define tags that get special styling, like bug/discussion/feature-request/support here on meta. (It's one special style, not different styles for different groups of tags.) So Q&A could make code-review stand out like that, along with any other future tags that should be treated spec... (more) |

| Question | — |
Who should the moderators be? As we have set up communities here on the Codidact network we've been appointing temporary moderators. Usually some people stand out from the proposal process and early activity. Ultimately, of course, we want each community to choose its own moderators; we've been doing this as a stopgap, while co...

@Lundin the team monitors all the metas for bug reports, so it's fine to ask here. (When problems aren't clear or there could be workarounds, the wider audience of main Meta can help, but here the problem seems pretty clear.) (more) |

@Lundin that's a good point about self-answered Q&A modeling the Q&A we want. (more) |

| Comment | Post #278189 |
@meriton sorry, I probably should have used more qualifiers there. I've seen self-answered questions, both here and elsewhere, that got comments criticizing the question. When you already know the answer, it's easier to leave critical information out of the question. And I've seen complaints (main... (more) |

| Question | — |
Do we want a wiki (or similar) alongside Q&A? In addition to Q&A, Codidact supports another post type, article. Articles can be used for blog posts, wiki pages, and other resources. Articles, like questions, use tags, so searching for a tag would find them alongside questions. Articles, unlike questions, do not have answers, though they do ha... (more) |

A package system for separation with intentional versioning seems like a sound approach to me. But I'm the OP and probably less equipped to evaluate than others here. I see that someone has downvoted this answer and would like to understand why, if possible. (more) |

It looks like the dev team has done some repo cleanup since we first looked at this; their repo is now down to about 70GB, and doc's WIndows machines aren't loaded up with as much corporate bloatware as they used to be. So we could actually share now; thanks for pointing it out. (more) |

A: How can I fill in tag information? I've just lowered the reputation requirement for both Edit and Edit Tag from 250 to 200. If folks here want it to be lower -- young communities have different needs, after all -- please make a meta post so people can vote. Thanks. (more) |

| Answer | — |
A: Long code lines are not wrapped Code blocks that are wider than the column they're trying to fit in now get horizontal scrollbars. As noted in another answer, it's not safe to assume that line-wrapping won't change the correctness of code. (more) |

Also, what counts as a long line for display purposes is affected by display size and zoom. Code that looks just fine on a full-size monitor might be sad on a phone. You can never format your code so that it'll never have problems, so regardless of what the poster does, the site might still need to... (more) |

Ok, I added that as a short description for now, while the community figures out what this tag should be. We can edit, rename, or remove later, as needed. (more) |

A user created a tag containing a space, which broke things, and an admin changed it to have the hyphen. I don't think admins were weighing in on the merits of the tag, just trying to mitigate a bug. (more) |

| Comment | Post #277551 |
Or the code blocks with lines too long for the space should get scrollbars so they stay in bounds without anything getting truncated. I don't know what's better here, scrolling or auto-wrap, but either would be better than letting them get so wide that they don't fit and over/underlap other content.... (more) |

Hello. Apparently we have a bug that affected the layout on this post (made things kind of unreadable). I'm trying to get that fixed, but in the meantime I made an edit that I *believe* is harmless but want to check. In the first code block, I moved each attribute to its own line instead of having...

Post edited: Apparently wide code doesn't get a scrollbar right now and instead messes up the page formatting. I'm sorry; we'll get that fixed. Meanwhile trying this workaround so this page displays ok. |

The title sounds like you want to disable a specific user, but the body sounds like you want to disable "everyone but me". Is the latter correct? (more) |

| Question | — |
How should we share some content between two otherwise-independent git repositories? We have two teams, dev and doc, and I'd like them to have shared access (via git) to a common subset of content. Specifically, I would like the examples that are used in the doc and that are scriptable to be part of our regular (dev) tests, so we'll know if a code change has broken one of them. Rig... (more) |

We don't need to emulate the structure on SE. We should do what makes sense to the community *here*. Think of categories as different *kinds* of content, not just different *subjects*. For example, contests or challenges aren't regular Q&A; it makes sense to separate those. But design is part of soft... (more) |

@hkotsubo I think there's an opportunity here for the software community to build an outstanding library of articles alongside Q&A. They'll be more visible than they would be as tag descriptions, and yes they could be linked from tag descriptions (or from answers, or from outside the network like wh... (more) |

A: Can regular users add tag wikis? And what are the guidelines for creating them? Editing tag descriptions is a privilege, currently based on reputation. (Changes to the privilege system are coming, but not yet.) The threshold is currently set at 250 rep. I recognize the bootstrapping problem of a new site, particularly one that doesn't have moderators yet. Please feel free to... (more) |

A: "Software Development" to the exclusion of other programming and scripting? It's meant to include all programming and scripting. By calling it Software Development we wanted to convey that it's not just code but also those other things. I'll adjust the description of the Q&A category; if people can propose better descriptions there, and also for our description on the list... (more) |

Something to keep in mind when tagging here: Codidact supports hierarchical tags, which is relevant for questions about specific versions of languages, libraries, etc. We can organize that better than with a flat tag list. (more) |
