What I want to do or know
- General: Can published research notes be converted to questions?
- If so, how?
Background story
I accidentally created a research note when I meant to create a question. It has some nice comments -- so is there a way to change it to the "question" post type?
I think I might have answered my own question (and found a bug? calling @warren)
I made this post by clicking the "Ask a question" button, but it is showing up as a note. You can see the section headings are ones that the question submission form fills in.
Also it looks like you can make any note a question by adding a tag following the pattern "question:subject" where "subject" is a tag that already exists. So "question:riffle" for a question about the riffle. I changed my previous note to "question:website" and it's now showing up in the questions section of my profile.
Is this a question? Click here to post it to the Questions page.

Changed this into a question by adding the tag "question:question"

I can't seem to answer my own question even after following the tags "question" and "question:question". EDIT: the top of the page still reads "subscribe to answer questions on this topic", but I found that I could post an answer from the page https://publiclab.org/tag/question:question

You can change any research note into a question post by adding the tag
question:subject
, replacing "subject" with the tag the question relates to.Then, anyone following that tag will be able to post an answer to the question.
Yes! I believe it's documented pretty deep in Ananyo's post: https://publiclab.org/notes/ananyo2012/08-20-2016/gsoc-2016-final-work-product-of-expanded-q-a-system-for-publiclab-org
