| Feb 12, 2018 at 4:38 | comment | added | Achala Dissanayake | @Wrzlprmft Thank you. got it. And is there any criteria defined for this reputation levels adjustments for privileges ? | |
| Feb 11, 2018 at 21:49 | comment | added | Wrzlprmft | @AchalaDissanayake: The privileges are lost. Privileges are directly linked to reputation, nothing else. | |
| Feb 11, 2018 at 21:45 | comment | added | Achala Dissanayake | when a reputation level adjustment happens in a community and what happens to the privileges earned before if the newly adjusted level goes passing a current users current reputation? | |

| Jun 8, 2015 at 12:37 | comment | added | Christian Rau | @Catija But wasn't ELL explicitly created by ELU users as a dump for beginner questions? If they had wanted those questions, there wouldn't be any need for ELL in the first place. But I guess we're digressing. | |
| Jun 4, 2015 at 3:12 | comment | added | user259867 | @Catija Most sites want questions; others have quite enough of them, possibly more than they want to see. | |
| Jun 3, 2015 at 20:34 | comment | added | D.W. | I'd like to add one more feature to your list. Today, sites in beta can be shut down at any time, and all their content disappears (well, there's an export, but it won't show up in search). For graduated sites, there's an implicit promise that this won't happen: Stack Exchange will continue hosting the archive of questions & answers. For me, I buy into the mission of SE as building an archive of high-quality content. If there's a significant risk that all my contributions might disappear at any time, that's a deterrent to contributing; knowing that won't happen would be a nice benefit. | |

| Jun 3, 2015 at 7:24 | comment | added | cpast | @AndrewLeach It's pretty common. SO, SU, SF, Sec.SE, U&L, Programmers all have it. Community migration can actually work fairly well in my experience. | |
| Jun 2, 2015 at 18:55 | comment | added | Ilmari Karonen | @Catija: Most sites want interesting questions. Smaller sites especially depend on a small core of active experts to supply good answers. Send in too many questions that don't interest the core expert community, and those experts will get bored and leave, and the site will either decline or, at best, end up radically changing its scope. Alas, preventing that does sometimes mean telling new users "sorry, your question is too low-level / boring / homework-like for this site." At least with ELU/ELL we have another site with a more suitable scope and community to send them to instead. | |
| Jun 2, 2015 at 18:46 | comment | added | Ilmari Karonen | @AndrewLeach: Oh, you're talking about community migration. I kind of tend to forget that feature even exists, since it's so rarely useful. (Exception: migrating stuff to/from meta.) It has multiple problems that really should be resolved, and the inability/refusal to add migration paths to/from meta sites is, AFAIK, really just a symptom of (or a kluge added to mitigate) the more fundamental issues. I have no statistics to back this up, but I wouldn't be surprised if way more than 50% of all migrations on the SE network (again excluding to/from meta) were done by mods these days. | |
| Jun 2, 2015 at 18:20 | comment | added | trichoplax is on Codidact now | Rather than trying to guess the right time to have a sudden increase in rep requirements for the review queues, perhaps the requirement could be based on position rather than rep. So the top 5% of active users have access to the review queue, for example. | |
| Jun 2, 2015 at 18:11 | comment | added | Catija | @AndrewLeach I did say that a diamond is required for it... Considering how many people I see on ELU say "This should be on ELL" over and over and over... most sites want questions, it's baffling to me how ELU is so picky about the questions they'll deign to answer. | |
| Jun 2, 2015 at 17:58 | comment | added | Andrew Leach | @Catija Actually, ELU doesn't have any migration targets other than Meta. I'm not aware of any site that offers non-mods the opportunity to vote to migrate other than to its Meta. [ELU did have Writers, but there were a large number of errors and it was removed in the close-dialog revamp.] | |
| Jun 2, 2015 at 11:05 | comment | added | Raphael | Migrations paths from betas/"betas" are another item in the "should be activated"-list. | |
| Jun 2, 2015 at 7:21 | comment | added | Catija | As a note, ELU constantly migrates stuff to the Beta site ELL. Linguistics does it to a smaller degree... so it is possible but it requires a diamond to do it. Beta sites don't have any migration targets other than Meta, so you can't migrate away from a Beta site... Diamonds, excepted, I believe in this case, as well... that's actually what prompted the question Josh posted above me here. | |

| Jun 2, 2015 at 2:34 | comment | added | Nathan Tuggy | One other thing you're missing is that sites in beta, like Code Review, are currently somewhat discouraged from being migrated to — even if, like Code Review, they're actually in the queue for graduation. So more clearly distinguishing "beta" from "indefinite okay status" (and being fine with migrating questions to the latter but not so much the former) is another thing to add to this list. | |
| Jun 1, 2015 at 23:18 | comment | added | user259867 | @AnnaLear They are conveniently located in the footer on the right ... in the site switcher they would get in the way if pinned, and would take longer to access if not pinned. I don't go there often. | |
| Jun 1, 2015 at 23:15 | comment | added | Adam Lear StaffMod | @HomegrownTomato The previous version of the footer listed all graduated sites. Current version does not (by design). I don't think we track clicks from the footer specifically... I'll have to look when I'm at a computer with access to the code. Out of curiosity, why do you use the footer instead of the site switcher for A51/StackApps? | |
| Jun 1, 2015 at 23:11 | comment | added | user259867 | @AnnaLear When it was designed, it did list every graduated site. Now it doesn't... I know I use the footer to go to Area 51, and maybe Stack Apps or Data Explorer. But you have the click data, don't you? | |
| Jun 1, 2015 at 23:08 | comment | added | Adam Lear StaffMod | @HomegrownTomato The footer isn't designed to list every site. Pretty much every category has too many now ("business" and "professional" categories being the exception... in that they are missing from the footer entirely because when it was designed, no graduated sites were in them). We should consider randomizing the list, perhaps, to give all sites a chance... but first, the question is "does anyone even use the footer?". | |
