| Sep 13, 2016 at 13:33 | comment | added | Josip Ivic | Ok. Thank you again for clarification Stephen. I just didn't know what to do with this type of questions, so it's better to ask here what's with that. | |
| Sep 13, 2016 at 13:02 | comment | added | Stephen Ostermiller Mod | Even for a question like "can I type a web adress without www?", "YES" is a poor quality answer. It would be good to explain how redirects work. It would be good to explain that many browsers add the "www" for you. It would be good to explain that there are some cases in which omitting the "www" might not work. | |

| Sep 13, 2016 at 13:00 | comment | added | Josip Ivic | For the sake of discussion. Let's say I ask this question because there's no question like that here. Would it be concidered too broad? | |
| Sep 13, 2016 at 12:58 | comment | added | Josip Ivic | But this is question like... "can I type a web adress without www?" | |
| Sep 13, 2016 at 12:58 | comment | added | Josip Ivic | This is question for Web Applications SE in my opinion. | |
| Sep 13, 2016 at 12:57 | comment | added | Stephen Ostermiller Mod | "YES" is not a high quality answer. A high quality answer says "why" and gives evidence or references. | |
| Sep 13, 2016 at 12:55 | comment | added | Josip Ivic | So, I can answer him just "YES." and that's it? | |
| Sep 13, 2016 at 12:54 | comment | added | Stephen Ostermiller Mod | How is it broad? Broad means that an answer for it wouldn't fit in the format of the site. If the answer would require more than five paragraphs, it is too broad. If there are entire books written to answer the question, it is too broad. Too broad can also be somebody asking a laundry list of questions where each question would be better asked alone. | |
