Hi! I'm mainly active over on Code Golf, I was going to make a feature request on network meta and was wondering if anyone here'd answer a few questions I had about tagging on this site, since I was thinking it might also benefit from the feature request (and be a good example).

Specifically, I was wondering how much of a requirement the system tags are, how often there's exceptions to that, how those are typically tagged and/or handled, and how much of a problem questions without proper tagging are for y'all

Shalvenay

@RedwolfPrograms system tags are almost always a requirement for us -- even "freeform" RP can be seen as a system of its own

undertagged/untagged questions are indeed a significant problem as well -- many newer users don't have the exposure/perspective outside of the 800lb gorilla systems (D&D, mostly, although there are a couple of others out there that can be that way for some) to realize that they're underspecifying their questions

Redwolf Programs

The feature I was considering writing a FR for is something similar to the required tags on meta (different color, being displayed above all others, being shown first, maybe not actually being required but being very hard to miss) on main sites, since Code Golf's in a similar situation with its winning criteria (one is almost always required, and they're frequently missing). Does that sounds like it'd be something that would be helpful here?

(I don't want to use y'all as an example of how it could be helpful if it'd not do you any good :p)

So, this is kind of an "asking about a problem I don't have" feature, but I wanted to float it out there.

12:14 PM

So a week ago I asked about changing arcane-focus to spellcasting-focus

Now that we've decided to do that, I've realized I don't actually know how to do that.

do I create a spellcasting-focus tag and then synonym arcane-focus to it?

See this meta discussion

Medix2

12:46 PM

@ThomasMarkov Do you think this question which I was about to answer, is actually just fully answered by this question?

Thomas Markov

Yeah probably.

Medix2

@ThomasMarkov Sounds right to me

Thomas Markov

In particular Xirema’s answer.

Maybe give it more bounty.

Gonna dupe close?

Medix2

Thinking about it, yeah

Thomas Markov

That’s probably fine.

Medix2

12:49 PM

They're certainly not asking the same thing, since one is asking "What do you add for each weapon" and the other is "Did I calculate this right?" (for one specific case)

Thomas Markov

“Framed differently” is not the same thing as “different question”

Medix2

Yeah, and given the answers, yeah, I'mma hammer

Thomas Markov

Xirema’s answer makes a good canonical target.

Akixkisu

1:25 PM

@ThomasMarkov Only moderators can rename a tag.

Thomas Markov

but would my idea work?

Akixkisu

Your solution would lose the remapping which is essential.

Thomas Markov

create new tag, then synonym to that one?

Akixkisu

So people don't lose their favourites and ignored tags.

Thomas Markov

Ah.

Gotcha

Akixkisu

1:26 PM

(But it would technically work)

Medix2

Can you not ignore a synonym?

Akixkisu

Depends on what you mean by that.

E.g. you can ignore adnd-2.0

And you will not see adnd-2e questions.

But it will automatically turn that into adnd-2e in your ignored list.

@Medix2 ^

Medix2

Hmm yeah I don't quite follow but oh well

If somebody was already ignoring or following [arcane-focus] and that became a synonym of [spellcasting-focus] I feel like the ignored/followed status should just keep working?

Maybe it doesn't work that way though, and I should write a feature-request

Thomas Markov

@Medix2 status-deferred while we waste time butchering stuff that is working just fine.

Akixkisu

1:44 PM

@Medix2 exactly, it gets remapped.

That is why Thomas idea doesn't work out.

And we need a moderator to do it - to keep that logic intact :)

NautArch

@nitsua60 Wild magic table :)

Thomas Markov

Im so confused.

Medix2

I don't see why remapping is bad at all

If anything it's good because the user's experience doesn't change

Akixkisu

Yes

Medix2

All the questions they were following or ignoring they are still following/ignoring

Akixkisu

1:47 PM

That is exactly how that works.

Medix2

But you just said that synonyms cause remapping as if it was a bad thing?

Akixkisu

The rename does that and the rename is a moderator action.

Medix2

Oh, you just misread what I asked XD

Actually, I think I can just go test this

Akixkisu

I'm confused. I answered two different question.

One about synoyms - the 2.0 and 2e example and one about renaming.

Medix2

If you ignore a synonym, it does ignore the parent

Akixkisu

1:50 PM

yes

Medix2

So just making a new tag and marking the old as a synonym will not change anything

So there is no need to rename the tag at all

Akixkisu

Hm, I guess then I'm wrong about Thoma's method not working out. You can circumvent it like that I suppose.

Not sure if it breaks any other logic.

Medix2

Yeah it might do something weird, somewhere, hmmm

Akixkisu

I would still just wait until a mod does it properly.

Akixkisu

Some people on rpg.se seem to type at around 200wpm.

@Akixkisu I only get 150 wpm, but it's still quite fast

I also type very improperly

NautArch

Though I used to be good at it.

NautArch

We've got equipment in the office ive had to resolder and it's been very much a learning process.

Akixkisu

I think if I picked it up again, I could relearn it rather quickly.

NautArch

Although I dont' understand why I've had to do it so much. I an't imagine all their customer are able to do the work I've done on the machines.

Akixkisu

Most of the soldering that I do are cables.

And all of it is on my personal equipment.

Thomas Markov

2:06 PM

poor unsupported answer

@Medix2 So you did a good job signposting your system assumption there, but that question would probably just get tagged instead of closed. Good practice though, I guess :P

Akixkisu

Usually, I do it for audio equipment, they design the cables to break after about three years, and I can fix them by cutting and then soldering in 5 minutes. I don't want to know how many cables the average person buys.

Oh, different Q. (It is intuitively obvious to the most casual {expert} observer that it's about dnd-5e).

doppelgreener

4:32 PM

Hey, I'm looking to double check something about D&D 3.5e, and about Pathfinder 1e: does the term "immediate action" mainly get used in the context of reactive actions you take, that get triggered by things other people do?

i.e. "you triggered my trap card!" style things, and not "so on my turn i'm going to voluntarily take an immediate action to—"

Thomas Markov

This looks like a rule intent/designer reasons question to me.

doppelgreener

I mean, it looks like they're trying to understand how to apply a game mechanic

Like, if you're trained, does that mean you should be using easier scores? Does being untrained make for harder scores?

Thomas Markov

@doppelgreener This doesn't even make sense in the context of the question.

doppelgreener

I did read the question.

Medix2

I do think my answer answers the question; so maybe we've all just got different interpretations

Thomas Markov

4:39 PM

@doppelgreener Then I have no idea what this sentence means.

doppelgreener

That means someone else is probably better positioned to answer it this time, then.

Thomas Markov

@Medix2 And I dont see how your answer actually supports the claim you make in the header.

@doppelgreener Can you rephrase this sentence?

Medix2

@ThomasMarkov Why would the rule state that being proficient is required for certain difficulties if it had already just assumed you were proficient?

Thomas Markov

The player (the one trained) doesnt "use scores" in any context, the DM sets the DC.

doppelgreener

@ThomasMarkov "Are these the scores I'm supposed to apply to a trained individual trying to do the thing, or to an untrained individual?" And, implicitly, there may be different scores to apply to the group this is not for.

Thomas Markov

4:43 PM

Ah, I see.

You're definitely not supposed to use different DCs for proficient and non proficient characters, if thats what you think is being asked.

That would defeat the point of proficiency. The difficulty is already offset by having a proficiency bonus.

Medix2

I thought of a way to re-explain what I'm explaining

doppelgreener

@ThomasMarkov Yes, that's the answer I would write as well—and that being better at it is baked into getting +N to the roll.

Thomas Markov

@doppelgreener I am understanding you now.

doppelgreener

:D

Thomas Markov

So my understanding here is that Doppel, Medix, and I think this is three different questions.

So maybe it could use some clarification.

doppelgreener

4:50 PM

@SeriousBri Would a different way to phrase your question be as follows?: “Do I apply these scores when they're trained, or untrained, or both? Is there a different set of scores or an adjustment I should be using when someone's trained/untrained?" — doppelgreener 26 secs ago

Thomas Markov

@doppelgreener Im pretty sure this is not the question Medix answered.

Okay, I think Im with Medix, I think it means "Does easy mean easy for proficient or easy for non proficient"

doppelgreener

I think @Medix2 answered this question as well, just not directly to that phrasing. You use the same scores no matter what. These are the scores you give to a nonproficient person. The proficient person also gets these scores, their proficiency is what gives them an advantage.

@ThomasMarkov Oh, yeah, that's a decent way to look at it

I guess it's just: easy is objectively easy (somehow), but how easy you find it depends on your proficiency, with "no proficiency" actually making it kinda difficult.

Thomas Markov

@doppelgreener yeahhhhhhhhhh

Now youre speaking my language

doppelgreener

@doppelgreener <-- @Medix2 @ThomasMarkov FYI SeriousBri updated to use this phrasing.

Thomas Markov

And I dont think Medix has the right answer anymore.

Cuz I think their answer was for a different question :/

doppelgreener

5:00 PM

hence the pingaling

well i guess hence the thonk actually

NautArch

should we rollback and have them submit a new Q

Thomas Markov

Proficiency only goes up to +6

but sometimes 12.

@NautArch Do you also think it is now a different question?

NautArch

@ThomasMarkov I do

doppelgreener

no, it's just the same question, they're clarifying it

Thomas Markov

The clarifying made it a substantively different question than it was before

doppelgreener

5:02 PM

exactly one person has answered it and it'll be easy enough to update to respond to this phrasing

y'all, don't build a mountain out of a molehill here

you asked for clarification, you got it

it was never a designer intent question to begin with

NautArch

Then @Medix2 Needs to update their answer. I'm still not a fan of moving goalpost questions once any answer comes in.

doppelgreener

Medix2 understood the question as how to apply the DC tables to begin with

It's not a moving goalpost

Sometimes the answer being clarified requires to rephrase, that's all that's happening

Medix2

I'm not really sure I even need to change the answer, unless I'm misunderstanding the new form of the question as well

doppelgreener

Here, I'll update it

Thomas Markov

@Medix2 Previous form of the question was "Does easy mean easy for proficient or easy for non proficient", which you answered. New form is "Do you apply a different DC to the same task when performed by proficient and nonproficient individuals", which you didnt answer.

NautArch

5:07 PM

@Medix2 I think adding to it the direct answer about when to apply those DCs would be helpful.

Thomas Markov

Okay now youve answered both questions so I guess that works lol

doppelgreener

@Medix2 Oops, we had an edit conflict.

I'll let you pick out how you'd like to settle that phrasing. 👍

Thomas Markov

I made an edit to Medix's answer as well.

KorvinStarmast

@doppelgreener +3

Thomas Markov

@doppelgreener I dont know, when there is not an excess amount of work to be done, treating every question like a mountain seems like a viable quality control strategy.

When Ford produces a zillion cars a day, quality control uses sampling inspection, taking a small sample from parts lots to estimate the lot quality.

We are not Ford.

We can treat every question like it's the most important question, because we don't have enough questions coming in to need to not do that.

@Medix2 Is that like the ferrari of unicycles?

Medix2

I just wanted a random Unicycle brand tbh

doppelgreener

The Stack system likes things to be neat and tidy, but the Stack system is a machine that doesn't really care about us and just wants content and people willing to create that content by its terms.

We're people trying to use this thing to communicate, and communication requires being willing to be a little messy and make some mistakes and correct ourselves along the way.

we're less like a car production line, because we're having to phrase all new things all the time. some of us are better at accomplishing it; most of us have gotten pretty decent. asking a question might be more like assembling a new piece of ikea furniture every time. if it's sort of like something we've done before, that'll help us, otherwise hoo boy

Thomas Markov

You are vastly underestimating how similar I am to a machine.

doppelgreener

5:31 PM

are we not all, like, meat machines, man

3

Anyway, I find our ability to phrase questions about something is proportionate to how well we understand the stuff we're dealing with and how much vocabulary we have been given for describing it

That means when we don't understand something and we don't have the vocabulary to describe what we don't understand, that makes phrasing a question much more difficult

The question might appear to change as we better find the words to describe it at all

It fascinates me that the Stack and its users tend to treat answers as not just more "valuable content" than questions, but as harder to write. Because while answering requires specific expertise in a subject and the ability to effectively communicate about it, asking requires the ability to effectively communicate about something that we aren't an expert in and gosh but that's hard even when we're not also struggling to make it "stackable."

bobble

For questions I also have to worry about whether there is a duplicate, and I spend a lot of time looking for such a duplicate (especially on main meta) - which can be a problem since I don't always know which keywords would be used by others!

Akixkisu

10:43 PM

rpg.stackexchange.com/q/190589/44723 I think there is dissonance about what requires a DC and the descriptors attributed. A DC 5 is "easy" in terms of tasks that require a DC, but most do not require a DC to begin with because you only roll when there are consequences. Most "easy" tasks are too easy to give an option to roll.

Ah I didn't see that Miva basically gave that answer.

@bobble I don't look too too hard, because if anything I'm feeding the system another dupe target to funnel users towards a good answer.

BESW

That Q:A ratio is so massive largely because almost every question I've ever asked has been hair-pullingly frustrating to compose and then I often have to dramatically re-write it for people (often who have no knowledge of the subject or intent to learn) who want to close it because I didn't explain it to their satisfaction. Or I have to add increasingly blunt reminders that I did, in fact, ask the question I meant to ask and not the one people expect.

AncientSwordRage

@BESW I feel that

bobble

@AncientSwordRage but I don't want my stuff to be closed :) My single closed Q across the network is one on main-meta which I had tried to search for for half an hour, posted the bug, and only later realized that it was due to a non-update in render and I should have looked for the last edited date... I felt so embarrassed.

BESW

I actually had someone come back and say "Oh, now I understand what you were asking. It seemed awfully simplistic before" and just. hi. if you think a question is too obvious or too simple maybe check that you're reading it right before giving a condescending "just quoting the rules I've clearly read" answer.

AncientSwordRage

11:22 PM

@BESW it doesn't help that for some questions that's all that's needed

BESW

I've also gotten "just use narrative fiat" answers to questions that specifically say I know I could do that but would like to back it up with mechanics.

The Stack gives so much rep per vote for answers compared to questions that the risk-reward for answering recklessly is twice as good as the risk-reward for asking questions.

bobble

They reverted the Q vs A rep differences a while back.

BESW

That's a nice incremental change, then.

AncientSwordRage

@bobble I definitely had a high percentage of my questions heavily edited when I first joined, and I strived... Strove? To improve on that

@BESW I recently posted a Q on Worldbuilding, and it's got a lot of very low effort answers given it's meant to 'science based'

ACuriousMind

@bobble And I hate it (on my home site, physics). The problem is that the stack model tries to fit extremely divergent topics and hence extremely divergent relationships between questions and answers into the same process.

11:30 PM

My first site, Puzzling, loved it - but was acutely aware that was because we were breaking the Q&A model in major ways. We requested it to be just us, as I recall.

BESW

@ACuriousMind Aye, one of the Biggest Lies in the Stack is that a Q&A model they designed for a very specific professional context is Universal Actually and can be applied to literally any subject in the world with minor soft policy accommodations. I'm on the record for repeatedly pointing and yelling at Meta itself as the gold standard for forcing the wrong solution onto a problem.

ACuriousMind

11:33 PM

I've never heard a good argument why the overlord meta has rep.

bobble

Here's Puzzling's request

@ACuriousMind at least part of the reason is because the code treats it as a main site and a meta, and main sites have reputation.

ACuriousMind

@bobble that's not a reason, that's an excuse ;)

"the code just does it like this" is always code for "I don't want to put in the work to change it" if a developer says it and "we don't consider this important" if a customer-facing person says it

bobble

Why is there rep on Meta? If MSE rep is used for voting, why is it tied to privileges? Why does downvoting a feature request penalize the asker? or any of these (most new Qs closed as dupes of old discussions)

BESW

They halved the risk of answering sloppily and thought that would make people answer more carefully instead of more frequently? And it took them nine years to figure out that they were getting the opposite effect of what they wanted? That's just... who in the world takes nine years to check if a major change is doing what you wanted it to?

The Stack's self-contented lack of self-reflection and self-awareness is probably one of its greatest obstacles to achieving its own goals.

bobble

11:50 PM

Another Puzzling-centric thing that's been requested (but would probably benefit other places as well) is a bounty or bounty-adjacent feature for rewarding exceptional questions - because good questions take a lot of effort, and on Puzzling, exceptionally well-crafted puzzles can be true works of art.

Currently, we get around that by having people answer their own puzzles with write-ups of how they made it, or awarding bounties to unrelated answers.
