Congratulations everyone: after much effort we are finally graduating! The Community Managers have communicated us that, based on the longevity, number and quality of questions and other parameters, Italian.SE will graduate from beta on December 16th 2021. What does it mean for us? Not much. The ...

It's New Year's Day in Stack Exchange land... A distinguishing characteristic of these sites is how they are moderated: We designed the Stack Exchange network engine to be mostly self-regulating, in that we amortize the overall moderation cost of the system across thousands of teeny-tiny sli...

Would it make sense to subdivide further regional, for instance into tags for Northern, Central and Southern Italian (and Swiss-Italian if the need arises)? It feels like in many cases OP already knows which of these variants applies.

When adding this question, I created the new neologism tag since none of the existing would fit for the case. Comments and suggestions, as usual, are welcome.

Throughout the beta, we need members from the site whose focus is to engage the community, both in community-building issues and site management. That's why we select a few members from each community to act as temporary, provisional moderators. You can read about the program here: Moderators Pro...

This is just to observe, as I have just done, that in the last few hours we have passed the one-thousand mark for the number of users of this site. Admittedly, not all of them are active, and someone will have just made a one-time answer or question, but it is all the same a nice, round goal. Any...

This is a plea for native Italians: could you please use the correct spelling of words with accents in your writing? I ask you this not only because it's nice to have things correctly spelled on a quality website, but also for the benefit of learners who might get confused if they see a word wit...

As moderators, we have to decide whether to make the site participate in the Winter Bash this year. It's a short fun period where "hats" are awarded to users, which they then wear on their avatar. Last year, we participated. Details about the event of this year aren't yet available, apparently, ...

As a moderator, I sometimes find myself in the position of having to evaluate whether to edit or not a question/answer for added noise which is useless from the information point of view. I am referring in particular to those sentences which pertain to the users' abilities/when user asks for hel...

This site has surfaced several back-to-back meta posts written only in Italian. It's an understandable tendency, since your focus is Italian Language, but this creates some problems. The Stack Exchange Team (of which I am a member) asks that instead, you do one of two things. Only post on meta ...

I was looking for an online essential list of highly representative Italian literary works. For example the first 10, 50, 100, 500, etc. I was surprised to find out that it is not so easy to find one - it is probably easier to make it. Would a question be on topic? If not, is there a way to reph...

This question is similar to this one, but wants to focus on a different aspect of the matter. Personally, I think that both English and Italian questions should be accepted, but I have seen cases in which a question is in English and one of the answers is in Italian (for the sake of this question...
