Discourse has a “Solved” plugin, which allows topics to be marked as, well, Solved. This is useful for Q&A, of course, and it’s enabled in general on Ask Fedora. But, it’s also kind of extra clutter where topics aren’t something with a solution, so I was hesitant to turn it on generally.
@hhlp showed me that this can be enabled on a per-tag basis. So, I turned it on for a number of tags in the tag-group here in Site Help & Feedback — Site Help & Feedback, problem, request, and idea. (But not guide, because for that, the intention is for the first post in the topic to provide the solution.)
I originally set up the Project Teams category to require at least one tag from the Fedora Teams and Interest Groups tag group, and to not allow other tags at all — I didn’t want to make it too much more complicated.
I’ve changed this to also allow the Help & Feedback tags to be used (but they are not required). That way, you could tag something as docs and problem, and then mark it solved when the problem is resolved.
Since it seems like a non-dangerous experiment, I went ahead and did this already — that way, you can try it out. Note that when posting, you need a team tag first — the other tags will only show up after you’ve selected at least one of those.
What do you think?
- Yes, that would be helpful
- No, that’s too complicated
- No, but we should enable Solved in a different way
- Maybe later, but not right now — too much at once!
- Not sure, but we can try it
- I just like to vote
