( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

We here on PM write a lot of comments to OP's about their formatting, title selection and that they really should provide more information when posting questions.

My idea would be to provide a few, limited flags (checkboxes) to give basic feedback to the poster. This would especially useful in SoPW to tell the poster if his/her formatting is good, he/she did provide adequate information and the title was (or wasn't) meaningful. If unchecked, the node status would display a short link to the relevant documentation, else it would just say thinks like "title ok, enough information provided, formatting acceptable."

Of course, instead of checkboxes, it could be +/-/0 radiobuttons to make every feedback option optional.

I realize this is a very static information (probably can't be changed after approval), but it would give the poster some feedback without bloating PM with long-winded comments about the basics. Also, new users could learn from the simple feedbackflags on posts of others.

I hope i didn't mess up the explanation too much. I can see how it would work before my inner eye, but somehow i find it a bit hard to explain the concept.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
