Good news! Our tour finally has an example related to Latin: latin.stackexchange.com/tour

It turned out that length includes html tags although one does not typically type them in when asking or answering. I squeezed the question below the limit.

@JoonasIlmavirta Excellent! That HTML length thing is good to know. It looks like the list of available questions updated pretty quickly after your edit too, right?

@Nathaniel Yes, it updated surprisingly quickly. I made this SE data explorer query to help search for candidates: data.stackexchange.com/latin/query/473660/…

I didn't write it from scratch, though. I slightly modified an old query to include almost sufficiently short questions as well.

The data in the explorer only updates once a week, but it's still useful for things like this.

@Nathaniel Did you see this? I only got Joel's opinion, which was yes.

Joel Derfner

@JoonasIlmavirta Bravo!

@JoonasIlmavirta I didn't realize beta sites were included on the data explorer; that's cool

@JoonasIlmavirta What do you think about animuson's comment? Are you going for something different than the "too broad" in "extremely long answer" (I didn't think we were)? And do we add basic grammar to the off-limits list (I'm inclined to leave it as is).

It might be good to agree on these details and one of us respond to the comment, so that others can upvote it and provide some closure on those points

Joonas Ilmavirta

@Nathaniel I think "too broad" covers "extremely long answer". I wouldn't ban basic grammar either. I'd like to keep it as simple as possible. We can add details later if needed.

Nathaniel

So then we could remove the "extremely long answer" one, right? And leave simple grammar out of it.

Joonas Ilmavirta

I updated my answer.

I've upvoted your comment; if others do so too that will help establish consensus on that point. Let's see what animuson thinks and then edit.

@Nathaniel It seems that animuson has seen the comment and that a second upvote has appeared.
