I’m aware it is possible to check the # of contributors on topics in general thanks to this topic.
However, wouldn’t it be nice to just see this number directly on control?
Use case:
We’ve recently had a serious bug on our product, affecting a rather large number of users. This typically causes for a number of duplicate topics, one of which identifies as the one with the most interaction.
I will then moderate the topic, mark my answer as a mod break, then move all the duplicates to this topic. This way, comms about this issue remain in one place.
Our engineers will ask about the community impact for two reasons:
a) setting priority on fixing this, and
b) to put together a postmortem once the issue was fixed, including the community impact (Emails, Tweets, Facebook posts, Help Community impact)
Going to the collective topic and seeing a) Views, b) replies, and c) number of unique contributors would help me add to the report. a) and b) are already there.
Interested to hear your thoughts.
Cheers
Mathis
P.S.: the hyperlink on the number of replies does not make a lot of sense to me, given it just triggers for the page to scroll down. Is there any other behaviour / logical reason behind it that I’m missing?
