| Jan 19, 2022 at 17:23 | comment | added | Tango | After reading this (just now) and the comments, I find the wording in #4 unclear. Is it that C/C++ questions are not okay and Python questions are? If that's the case, would adding something to the part in italics be possible to clarify? Such as putting it in parenthesis and writing: (This does not apply to questions about Python scripting. Python scripting is on topic.) | |

The underlining was visually confusing to me, because it separated the numbered bullet from its sub-bullets. I hope this is more readable.

| Dec 29, 2015 at 14:25 | comment | added | iKlsR | @brasshat Granted this was over two years ago, the scope of what is allowed has been changed ever so slightly in some cases. After we get our design and or more mods it could change again. Made a note to update this. | |
| Dec 29, 2015 at 5:46 | comment | added | brasshat | So, if questions about hot keys are off topic, why is there a "hotkeys" tag? Or should the issue of questions about hot keys be reconsidered? | |
| Jun 4, 2015 at 2:21 | comment | added | ideasman42 | Note, I wasn't sure if we should consider customized blender builds off topic - asked in separate Q. meta.blender.stackexchange.com/questions/722/… | |

Requests for tutorials and Lengthy or ridiculous how to requests could be merged into one item IMHO, maybe Requests for tutorials or lengtht HOW-TO's ?

| Jul 3, 2013 at 22:00 | comment | added | ideasman42 | Back to building blender being off-topic, This is a question about building an experimental feature. Check the comments under the question and you can probably see why we might be best off considetring these questions off topic - blender.stackexchange.com/questions/1574/… | |

| Jun 25, 2013 at 7:47 | comment | added | Wray Bowling | I don't want to be too strict about hotkey questions, because I worry that we'll become newbie-bashers. There are already a lot of good questions about "the best way to do X" where there is more than one "hotkey" answer. The rest of this list seems fine. nod | |

| Jun 6, 2013 at 0:53 | comment | added | iKlsR | @ideasman42 GSOC yes and building to some extent but we can't take any error messages (or at least any overly complicated ones like pasteall dumps), remember there can only be so much wrong on a users end and the site is not really a debugging/error-finding service per say.. if a question is deemed too technical it can and will be addressed accordingly. | |
| Jun 5, 2013 at 23:38 | comment | added | ideasman42 |
Should questions about building development builds be off topic?: Eg, How can I build Branch foo on github url bar, I tried but I got error message baz. .... closely related, should questions about running development branches be off topic? (GSOC work in progress branches for example).

| May 23, 2013 at 17:07 | comment | added | A Wild RolandiXor Has Appeared | I suggest we take some more time before we begin jumping on questions that appear to fit this criteria. We need time to define, though we must be relatively stringent of course. | |

| May 22, 2013 at 23:36 | comment | added | iKlsR | @greatwolf see my last response, python is used in the development of Blender, it can be used for several purposes such as adding GUI elements and as such could be valid. Another reason is C/C++ would stray too far from actual Blender and more into low level stuff and os related complexities. Python is used extensively in Blender and is a main part of it. So as I initially said, depending on how it is worded, it could be valid but would not be plausible or at least get a definitive response if used as it is in the example above. | |
| May 22, 2013 at 23:31 | comment | added | greatwolf | I guess the question I'm trying to raise is what makes python any more appropriate to ask than C or C++ because technically writing python scripts is a form of blender development. | |
| May 22, 2013 at 23:23 | comment | added | iKlsR | @greatwolf technically as stated above, yes, since python can be used to add gui elements it could be a valid one even though it would not be plausible and would be accordingly dealt with | |
| May 22, 2013 at 23:20 | comment | added | greatwolf |
Does changing the question to How can I add a new editor type like Tracking to Blender using python? make it ok?
