I feel like there should be an indicator for posts that have been edited, like youtube comments pictured here. Its often important context for the content of a post or comment that it has been edited since original posting. Maybe even a way to see the dif history? (Though this would be a tougher ask for site devs)
There is an indicator! The indicator only shows up if you edit it more than half an hour after posting, to avoid lots of false-positives on typo checks or quick edits. In this case all the editing ended up happening within that window.
If you edit outside of that window it looks like this:
Ah somehow never noticed this thank you! 30 minute policy seems good, though it comes with the potential flaw of failing to notate an actual content update if its done quickly (as happened here). Still think diff history would be cool and would alleviate that problem, though its rather nitpicky/minor.
Yep, I think some diff history would be good, just haven’t gotten around to building the UI for it, and if we do add UI for it, I would want some ability for authors to remove information permanently, in a way that is admin-reviewed, and that requires a bunch of kind of complicated UI.
