Welcome to the staging ground for new communities! Each proposal has a description in the "Descriptions" category and a body of questions and answers in "Incubator Q&A". You can ask questions (and get answers, we hope!) right away, and start new proposals.

Are you here to participate in a specific proposal? Click on the proposal tag (with the dark outline) to see only posts about that proposal and not all of the others that are in progress. Tags are at the bottom of each post.

When I'm browsing through questions in the Q/A category, I often want to look closer at the community proposal that the question belongs to. The most obvious path to follow, then, is to click on the community tag under the post, however, that tag doesn't actually link back to the proposal at all; in fact, the tags are most often just empty. It would be very helpful to have a link back to the proposal in the wiki for every one of those tags.

Since these tags are present in both the Incubator Q/A category and the Meta category, the change must be done to both.

There are 2 feature request issues on GitHub that would make this easier:

If these were implemented, anyone would be able to suggest an edit such as linking to the proposal description, and it would be feasible to give more people (possibly everyone) the Edit Tags ability, as the history would make dealing with sabotage easier.

I was more or less thinking of doing it automatically, but yes.

Having it outside the description as an automatic extra field would be good too, but would presumably need a mod to fill in the link manually while converting the tag to a proposal tag. If so, we may as well let the person creating the proposal add that link when they create the tag, so the moderator only has to convert the tag, not add a URL.

If it can be more automatic than that, that's great.

Doesn't have to be an automatic extra field, the software can simply automatically create the tag and paste the link into the wiki when the proposal is posted.
