"Don't add code to comments" redundancy #53

Closed ghost closed 6 years ago

ghost commented 6 years ago

There are three pages that mention not adding code to comments:

I think it breaks the flow and is a little redundant. However, the paragraphs all contain useful information so maybe they can be factored out into a separate page or admonition. Something like:

When requested to add code or stack traces to your question, please do not paste them in the comments. Instead, use the Edit link found below your question. Comments are meant to be brief and cannot format code as neatly.

Honestly, I don't think that's much of an issue. They're all related subjects. In fact, if you combed through many pages you'll find similar redundancies. Keeping all the information related to what the user needs to know on one page is important. We already are asking them to click through once for the information they need, and people already have a problem with that (too lazy to link to various meta discussions on the subject)...
