You know those "magic links" you can use in comments or chat? You type [se] and get Stack Exchange or [so] for Stack Overflow. In comments, there is also e.g. [edit] which links to the current questio …

I have answered Add Elementary OS Stack Exchange to the off topic banner with a proposal which got a positive feedback, so I'm now writing it as separate feature request here: Make a more flexible and …

We also have various windows tags as well as e.g. macosx, kali or debian although we do not support questions that are specific to those foreign operating systems. Their main purpose are dual-boot que …

I am reviewing first-posts and late-answers for a few weeks now and something is annoying me: Always when there is an answer to be reviewed, I have to scroll down (if the answer is long enough) to see …

I think running an automated script over each new question to look out for keywords like windows, mint, kali, etc. is a bad idea and would result in far too many false positives. Reviewing all of them …

You can star a question to mark it as favourite. You'll see them in your profile at the tab "Favourites". If anything changes, the question in the list will get highlighted and a bubble with the num …

This feature request on Meta Stack Exchange is open and neither resolved nor marked as by-design/won't-fix since 2013. I therefore think it's unlikely that anything will happen to it in the near futu …
