Should we allow answers by Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Language Learning Model (LLM) allowed on this site?
Please no. These answers are often just a list of possible solutions, untested possible solutions.
We have too broad question as close reason. And these answers are actually too broad answers and ...

How do we want to handle questions with radically different answers for Drupal 7 (and lower) and Drupal 8 (and higher)?
The main issue we face is the possibility of having questions that
essentially are just asking about the same topic, but a different
Drupal version. This dilutes the questions we already have, and ...

Are questions about how to configure robots.txt on-topic?
OP finds out that Drupal's default robots.txt doesn't actually cover his multi-language setup, which they configured to use path prefixes. An interesting question indeed. But is this really a Drupal-...

Best practice to improve own answer
It is rare that I've seen any multi-answer replies to a question by the same user.
Typically, the practice is to just to update the existing answer for whatever reason that the question has changed ...

Are questions about drupal's git/forking mechanism on topic?
Only questions that require Drupal knowledge to answer them are on-topic for us. A question that could be answered even from users who have never used Drupal or developed Drupal code isn't on-topic ...

Can we have a mysql tag?
No, I do not think we need explicit tags for database backends.
One, I think the current database tag is sufficient here. There really is very little in Drupal that is database specific, and ...

Where to draw the line to post an answer that is not really what the question is about?
So we are talking about a few different things here.
Flagging
You flag not an answer, when people write comments/questions as answers (it's literally not an answer). It's very common to see new people ...

Hate the new DA theme left sidebar
You could go to your user page, click on "settings" tab and then on "preferences" and checkmark "Hide left navigation". But this is lame, you no longer have access to those links when zoomed in.

Do we want to lower the close vote threshold?
As a diamond moderator, I would like to see the threshold lowered. I do not like closing questions outright; I think some community consensus is needed so that diamond moderator bias doesn't creep in. ...

Are there moderation options to mark other's answers as the correct answer?
No, there's no way for anyone except the OP to accept an answer (well, devs can, but I don't imagine they would).
Accepting an answer is a way for the OP themselves to say "this answer in particular ...

Spam post should not be upvoted!
Up-voting and down-voting spam are both bad actions that just make spam stay around longer. Down-voting and flagging as spam doesn't make the spam go away faster.
Just flag the spam as spam; when the ...

This is an answer. Someone upvoted it, and the OP accepted it. So, it obviously helped.

That question was closed because it was debugging drush, which is a general PHP issue. It also turned into a feature request.

Why a concise question to understand what Drupal programmers aimed to do, per formal literature, is rejected?
I ask if the current question does fit the website
It doesn’t - it’s much, much too broad for our format.
You’re essentially asking:
What are all the things that Drupal can’t do out of the box, ...
