StackExchange secret pages

Question

So I recently learned about the review page. What other unlinked goodies pages exist?

Answer 1

• See a breakdown of your reputation: https://tex.stackexchange.com/reputation
• User ranking per week, month, year and all time (not exactly secret, but not linked from here): http://stackexchange.com/leagues/29/week/tex

• A little known feature -- formatting key combinations: Ctrl + Meta + X

  <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Meta</kbd> + <kbd>X</kbd>

• If you click on the "days" against the "visited" field in your user profile, you can see when exactly you failed to get your daily fix on TeX-SE.
• Tags on meta can also be linked: [tag-meta:status-bydesign]

Answer 2

• The tag synonyms page is a useful list of suggested tag synomyns, alread mentioned here.

• See also the {TeX} site data explorer and the {TeX} meta site data explorer.

• The Inbox page gives a list of comments and chat messages for the user. Besides messages from the {TeX} site, its meta site and its chat it lists messages from all the stackexchange sites including SO.

Pages, for which I suggest we should edit them:

• How to ask (pointing to minimal working example, perhaps to 1-2 excellently written questions as examples)

• How to answer (mentioning screenshots, linking packages to CTAN, pointing to excellently written answers as examples and to answer style discussion on meta)

These two pages could be linked from the FAQ.

Answer 3

http://<site>/posts/<postid>/timeline. For example https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/posts/1001/timeline

Answer 4

You can get a data dump from your reputation at: https://tex.stackexchange.com/reputation

The ninja search options are listed under https://tex.stackexchange.com/search which also appears on an empty search text. It's not really hidden, but I just found it recently.

Not a secret page but useful to know: If the mouse pointer is placed above the post date, i.e. the "answered x unit ago", the full date and time is displayed.

Answer 5

In comments, you can insert shorthand links:

• [meta] – link to the current site's Meta; link text is the site name (e.g. "Super User Meta"). Does nothing if the site doesn't have (or already is) a Meta site.

• [main] – like [meta], just the other way around.

• [edit] – link to the edit page for the post the comment is on, i.e. /posts/{id}/edit. Link text is "edit" (capitalization is respected).

• [tag:tagname] and [meta-tag:tagname] – link to the given tag's page. Link text is the name of the tag. meta-tag only works on meta sites.

• [faq], [faq#anchor], [meta-faq], [meta-faq#anchor] – link to the FAQ. Link text is "faq" (capitalization is respected). meta-faq only works on meta sites.

• [so], [su], [sf], [metaso], [a51], [se] – link to the given site. Link text is the site name.

• [chat] – link to the current site's chat site, the link text being "{site name} Chat".

• [ask], [answer] – link to the "How to Ask" / "How to Answer" page.

• [something.se] – link to something.stackexchange.com, if that site exists. Link text is the site name. Use [ubuntu.se] for Ask Ubuntu.

This feature is discussed at meta.so: Add data.SE style "magic links" to comments. As a little demo, I'm adding the demo comment from that thread to this post. Its source is:

"On [main], you are expected to write proper English (as advertised on [english.se]), but here on [metaso] it's more important to have freehand circles, so please [edit] your post, otherwise I'll have to flag you (see the [FAQ#flagging]). If you're unsure how to use your keyboard, [su] is the right place to ask. There's no Q&A site about unicorns yet, but you can suggest one on [area51.se]."
