Q: Would it be on topic?

mattiav27I come from C programming, and as clear as they may be, I do not understand many of the examples in the documentation. Would it be on topic to ask for a C "translation" of some examples?

Pretty much every day I see a user add the "bugs" tag only for it to be removed by someone else (often in cases where the user is clearly experiencing non-user-error issues).
Perhaps we can discuss adding a "verified-bugs" tag with the semantics of the "bugs" tag, and allow "bugs" to be a staging area, if you will.
Look at how many times "please don't use the bugs tag" equivalent is in the top five comments: google.co.uk/…
I don't have time to look into it at the moment to back this up with data, but I think this causes a lot of friction for new users (how annoying must it be for the only reaction to your question is telling you you asked it wrong).

Previous discussion three years ago: mathematica.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1811/…
Perhaps a mod can confirm that we still don't have this "tag warnings" feature, and so we should perhaps move to possible-bug and confirmed-bug (although I would propose bugs and verified-bugs) as outlined by Mr Wizard three years ago.

Can someone help me understand what this user is looking for? I don't know what "symbolic" means in this context. Are they talking about asymptotes or something? mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/199360/…

Q: Why do I sometimes get boxes when I try to paste an equation?

HughI was just trying to ask a question but when I started to paste the equations I got disp = {u[r, z], w[r, z]}; ddisp = { \!\(\*SuperscriptBox[\(u\), TagBox[ RowBox[{"(", RowBox[{"1", ",", "0"}], ")"}], Derivative], MultilineFunction->None]\)[r, z], \!\(\*SuperscriptBox[\(u\), TagBox[ RowBox[...

@CarlLange I imagine some kind of algebraic expression instead of numbers
