Fix a typo in an older post on Project:Support desk and the topic will move to the top.
Not intended imo.
Topic on Talk:Structured Discussions
Do you have any suggestions on how to differentiate between diffs that ought to bump a topic, and those that ought not?
I suspect byte-count change-sizes are too ambiguous (someone could be replacing the/their entire post, with an equal length string)...
Should edits to existing posts, ever bump the topic?
This new software gives us a lot more visibility into whether and when a post was edited, but how can we continue to improve upon this?
Tangent note: I described a related request at phab:T94711 ("Flow API - need a way for bots to edit posts, without notifying author by default, maybe without affecting 'updated' topic ordering")
"Should edits to existing posts, ever bump the topic?"
In normal forum software, this behaviour doesn't happen by default. I reckon there should be a check box ("bump after this edit" or something, or maybe the negative "do not bump after this edit"), which I recall seeing in some forum software, but I can think that some designers would have reasons why they don't want to implement that. I'm not sure what those reasons would be, though.
