| Mar 9, 2020 at 23:21 | comment | added | V2Blast | I was talking about the "Before you post, search" line in the "Asking a good question" box itself, not any line in your answer. Sorry if that was confusing :) | |

| Mar 6, 2020 at 12:53 | comment | added | KorvinStarmast | @JNat SE has spent about a decade with "you should" as a hope and a policy and it is not succeeding to the level desired. The feedback from engaged users should tell you that. My own experience with SE *question quality is all over the map, however it has gotten worse in review queue experience in the last two years. The core similarity I see across six sites as I hit the review queues, particularly among new users, is the blatant lack of effort put in; the lack of prior research is a common thread. | |
| Mar 5, 2020 at 21:09 | comment | added | JNat StaffMod | As the first comment here notes, the reasoning is that that's something that should be done in preparation for writing a question, whereas the steps outlined there are the actual steps to drafting the question. | |
| Mar 4, 2020 at 15:08 | comment | added | KorvinStarmast | @TheLethalCoder I participate on SFF sometimes, but since it's noise-to-signal ratio is very high, I don't find it a good example for SE sites - but your example of a question is perfect. (And those are some very useful/helpful questions, as a class, for that site) Thanks! | |

I mainly sit on SFF, we get a lot of [story-identification] questions. Of course we want the user to research beforehand, covered by point 2 already, but they don't have to search SFF first before asking. In fact in a lot of cases, where different details are remembered, it would be hard to find "the same" question on the site. So for our case, in my opinion, it would be best to leave it un-numbered.

| Mar 4, 2020 at 14:41 | comment | added | KorvinStarmast | @TheLethalCoder Can you give me an example of one? some question types don't need prior searching | |
| Mar 4, 2020 at 14:39 | comment | added | TheLethalCarrot | Individual sites can already modify that section completely. And some question types don't need prior searching. Might be worthwhile leaving as is and changing where needed. | |
| Mar 4, 2020 at 12:17 | comment | added | KorvinStarmast | I disagree with your disagreement, but I understand the point that you are trying to make. My intent is to allow this to be a coaching toward desired process in engaging with the site. | |
| Mar 4, 2020 at 4:10 | comment | added | V2Blast | To be fair, I disagree with this in a sense, because "search the site" isn't part of what needs to be included in the question itself. Perhaps it could be "0." instead ;) | |
