- 3Warning: Your question will have to be on-topic on 2 websites, which is even harder than being on-topic on 1 website.Nicolas Raoul– Nicolas Raoul2015-04-01 03:42:10 +00:00Commented Apr 1, 2015 at 3:42
- 9The odd thing is that sites with similar scopes (SO, Code Review, Programmers, CS) are much more precise about where one ends and another begins. None of those would be good candidates for cross-site sharing. The examples in the feature proposal are much better, e.g. Bicycles and Physics.Wildcard– Wildcard2016-10-17 23:23:15 +00:00Commented Oct 17, 2016 at 23:23
- 5I'm not sure I agree that SO and Programmers (for instance) have a clear line between them. It's more like a gradient.Neowizard– Neowizard2016-10-21 19:20:05 +00:00Commented Oct 21, 2016 at 19:20
- @Wildcard the four you picked, sure, but (at least by my understanding of how blurry the lines are) there are plenty of questions that would work just as well (and often have duplicates) on U/L, at least one of SU or SF, and SO, and maybe an application-specific site as well. And maybe also Ask Ubuntu and/or Ask Different.Random832– Random8322017-01-04 20:57:17 +00:00Commented Jan 4, 2017 at 20:57
- 1Some similar sites might practically be delete-able if this gets implemented... some of the math sites and definitely E&LU + ELL... then again that last one might not be a bad thing...TylerH– TylerH2017-01-04 22:04:41 +00:00Commented Jan 4, 2017 at 22:04

How to Edit
- Correct minor typos or mistakes
- Clarify meaning without changing it
- Add related resources or links
- Always respect the author’s intent
- Don’t use edits to reply to the author
How to Format
- create code fences with backticks ` or tildes ~ ```
like so
``` - add language identifier to highlight code ```python
def function(foo):
print(foo)
``` - put returns between paragraphs
- for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
- _italic_ or **bold**
- indent code by 4 spaces
- backtick escapes
`like _so_` - quote by placing > at start of line
- to make links (use https whenever possible) <https://example.com>[example](https://example.com)<a href="https://example.com">example</a>
How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. stack-overflow), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
