@Andy, while you're here -- can we please rename new-user to new-users? I can't do it via a retag because it detects a substring, so the only way to do it is to use a temp variable (which would be a little disruptive).
@AnnonomusPenguin I was going through the tags list looking for near-duplicates, too-specialized subsets, and that sort of thing. Where there were just one or two questions involved, I retagged the questions. Some of the larger problem tags have already been raised on meta. I was just tidying up. (I also wrote some wikis, some in response to discussions in here about certain tags.)
@AnnonomusPenguin it's been discussed on MSE, but the consensus is that all edits should bump because we need that check from the community. Things you do at the tag level directly won't bump -- merges and synonyms. I don't remember if you can outright rename a tag that way.
Err, maybe -- Andy renamed new-user to new-users and I don't see bumps from that.
@MonicaCellio yeah, I tend to focus on answers and there haven't been many new questions lately :/
well, I should say I focus on cleanup and review on sites where I mod, then sites where I'm 20k (or 4k betas) then I focus on answering any new questions on any of the sites, then I focus on clean up on sub20/4k non-mod sites
it's just my internal prioritization for making the biggest impact, reasoning being if I don't have max privs, getting max privs makes my time spent on cleanup more productive
@AJHenderson interesting. You get partial rep for questions/answers if you hit the rep cap, but you get that last +1 for an edit that puts you over. Granted that it's a really minor corner case, but I had a different mental model of how the code works.
@Braiam oh, I thought edits were included too. If edits aren't rep-capped then this makes more sense. (The rep cap has to be checked for at each rep increase, because you stop getting the rep when you hit the cap rather than getting it and having it revoked by a nightly batch job.)
@AJHenderson yup. While I was assuming that if there's code involved that's already checking for daily cap, it would also check for this boundary. I'm imagining a "do we grant the rep?" (or, more precisely, "how much of this rep do we grant?") function that's called on each increase.
it's awesome to see that we have Moderators, that kind of makes me think the site will survive for a little while longer!!!! we need more questions though!
@Malachi seven candidates for one slot, but a day into the voting only three have responded to the questionnaire so far. (I don't know about other people, but when I stood for election last time around I had drafts of half my answers in advance, because you could tell from the question-collection post which ones were definitely going to make the cut.)
