Provide a tool for moderators to migrate comments to chat

Agreed. I've done this at least once, and IIRC twice, by copying the text of the messages into chat, adding attributions, and deleting the comments. It was extremely tedious, but it was the right thin …

Do not expire single-use tags that have a tag wiki

Single-use tags automatically expire after a few months. This is arguably the right thing when the tag is a misspelling (though I'd prefer some way of reviewing the process — but this post is not abou …

Please don't require answer votes to be cast before question votes

So now we get 10 extra question votes. But the way this is implemented is… bizarre. After casting 30 votes, we may cast 10 more votes on questions, regardless of what we voted on before. I generally …

Bring back review numbers to the top bar

Another reason to bring back the suggested edit indicator is that on smaller sites (i.e. not on SO), the suggested edit indicator is often 0. So a lot of people with the requisite privilege don't keep …

The future of meta.stackoverflow and meta.stackexchange

Yes, finally a site where network issues won't be buried in SO-specific considerations! You're proposing to rename meta.SO into meta.SE, then re-create meta.SO. I don't think that's going to work. Me …
