It is hard for me to visualize the proposed changes. Here is the current Asking help page:
Code Review Stack Exchange is for sharing code from projects you are working on for peer review. If you are looking for feedback on a specific working piece of code from your project in the following areas…
- Best practices and design pattern usage
- Security issues
- Performance
- Correctness in unanticipated cases
then you are in the right place!
I look at that, and suggest the following may be more useful:
Code Review Stack Exchange is for sharing code from projects you are working on for peer review. If you are looking for feedback on a specific working piece of code from your project in the following areas…
- is the code clean-code (readability, code-organization )?
- does it conform to best-practice (code-smell)?
- does it correctly implement design-patterns ( mvc, singleton, dependency-injection, etc.)?
- does it fully implement this algorithm ( data-structures, security, recursion, etc.)?
- is there any optimization available ( memory-management, performance, etc.)?
- are there any unanticipated cases where it may fail?
then you are in the right place!
The above not only helps clarify what is on topic, but also directs the asker to specific tags.
Also:
- I don't like specifically identifying 'security' as an on-topic item. I don't mind the tag (it has it's place), but security questions are likely better on security.se
- I don't like the idea that hunting for 'edge-cases' is on topic.
