If new users do the discobot tutorial, one of the most important things they learn is oneboxing. Unfortunately, few users actually embark on that journey and so I am often editing user posts to turn their links into oneboxes.
I’m assuming that I’m not alone with this and so I’m curious to hear how others are dealing with this. I have this idea of adding some hint to the editor modal for links, but won’t be able to test this before I’m back to my desktop computer next month. Adding an education message could be another option (it could show whenever a user who has never posted a onebox adds a uri to a post).
But maybe people have come up with less technical solutions?
This point needs more emphasis. I, for one, am a sponge for learning things called out in that manner.
It is:
A real world usage
A way to improve that situation
Presented right next the problem
I’ve also done the opposite version to people, wherein I defang their unintended onebox by putting whitespace before it and explain what I did and how it helps.
对于未嵌入预览的链接，点击计数现在已显示（至少在我刚才看到的链接中是这样），但对于那些已嵌入预览的链接，仍然没有显示计数。我刚刚点击了下方截图中嵌入预览的链接，但没有出现数字。而且我确实知道有几位用户也点击了该链接。在 Meta 站点上功能正常，但在我们的论坛（托管于 Discourse）上不行。到目前为止，还没有人提出任何投诉。我甚至认为他们根本没意识到应该有一个计数器来显示链接的点击次数。
