| Nov 25, 2021 at 16:16 | comment | added | pygri | Personally, I find it very hard to actually teach something to a beginner on this site - when someone asks a question and you see they are struggling with some basic problems, and someone posts a perfectly formed answer that does not help at all the OP to improve their understanding, sometimes the comments can be more educative (not specific to AskUbuntu, more of a general remark) | |

Wait... you can omit the (edit_link) in [edit](edit_link)? Where is that documented?

| Jul 13, 2013 at 8:25 | comment | added | JorgeArtware | I totally agree, answers on comment section are hurting the site, there are way too many questions without accepted answers as proper. This causes filters to be useless when you are searching for questions that already got accepted answers, so it may be also a cause of duplicated questions. | |

| Jan 3, 2012 at 23:50 | comment | added | Jorge Castro | Better would be to post a proper answer and taking the time to do it right. But there are cases where you can say "This is an incomplete answer but should get you started" and then improving it over time. Doesn't matter if you mark it wiki or not, just posting it enables anyone to fix it. | |
| Jan 3, 2012 at 23:48 | comment | added | Beanow | So you're saying it would be best to post them as half-answers instead? Wouldn't that get me down-votes for it being half an answer? Or should I only add half-answers when I have wiki rights? | |
| Jan 3, 2012 at 23:39 | comment | added | Jorge Castro | @Beanow If those were posted as answers then they could be improved from being a half answer to a real answer, but if it's locked in a comment then no one can fix them. | |
| Jan 3, 2012 at 22:35 | comment | added | Beanow | I've had several occasions where the half-answer comments pointed me in the right direction as a relatively new linux user with computer and programming experience. It helps me to write an answer that covers all the bits and pieces that were thrown up as well. So where exactly do you want to draw the line? | |
