Jun 7, 2020 at 23:05 comment added V2Blast RPG.SE does also see some significant amount of MathJax use, albeit mostly for formatting tables (though there is some use of it for statistics and the like relating to dice rolls/RPGs).
Jun 3, 2020 at 6:26 comment added Glen_b Add stats.SE to sites that use MathJax heavily...
Jun 2, 2020 at 21:18 comment added StephenG - Help Ukraine @TylerH I assure you that questions requiring real science are common on WB SE and not at all "bad fit". Because they're almost all have a fictional component/framework to them those types of questions would be off-topic on the "real" physical science sites. It is, for example, not unusual for Physics SE posts to be closed and recommended for WB SE (and the reverse also happens).
Jun 2, 2020 at 21:14 comment added TylerH @StephenG Sounds like there's a swathe of bad-fit questions for Worldbuilding then, but that's a subject for Worldbuilding Meta...
Jun 2, 2020 at 21:08 comment added StephenG - Help Ukraine @TylerH Physics SE, Chemistry SE, Astronomy SE and Worldbuilding SE are all sites I use and which use MathJax. Some Worldbuilding questions require science-based answers and equations are not uncommon there - a fair proportion of WB SE posts would be "broken" if Mathjax support went away.

Jun 2, 2020 at 7:02 comment added Ham Vocke StaffMod We're only going to re-render a post if we figured out that it will look the same it looked before. Re-rendering is a matter of adding a new revision to the post history that includes the changes we're applying to the post's markdown. If this fails, we can always go and undo the latest revision. We've built a tool that does exactly that as a batch operation - if stuff's really broken we're going to run this automatic rollback and restore what was there before.
Jun 1, 2020 at 22:16 comment added Braiam The rendered html is stored in the database and so it is the original text. Also, the migration would be incremental rather than all of it at the same time.
