| Sep 19, 2021 at 2:43 | comment | added | galacticninja | After reviewing the results of @TimmyJim's SEDE query above, I believe that most of the top-voted and most popular questions would benefit if the accepted answers are unpinned. Top-voted answers tend to be more accurate, have broader solutions, or are more up-to-date, compared to accepted answers with lesser votes. While I noticed that there are cases where accepted answers are more up-to-date, I've also noticed that most question-askers tend to not change their accepted answers in light of new information probably because most of them are not active on the site anymore. | |
| Sep 18, 2021 at 20:00 | comment | added | Schism | I forked Timmy Jim's query to also include the relative age of the accepted answer vs the top-voted answer. A positive number indicates the accepted answer is newer by that many days. | |
| Sep 17, 2021 at 20:18 | comment | added | Timmy Jim Mod | @PvParkour that would have to be something the SE team would implement. There are probably similar suggestions already made on the linked SE Meta posts though I haven't looked. | |
| Sep 17, 2021 at 19:19 | comment | added | Cyanite17 | If it's not too much trouble, then would it be possible to have a separate tab in the answers area for "previously accepted answers" or something like that? | |
| Sep 17, 2021 at 18:59 | comment | added | Timmy Jim Mod | @galacticninja I believe this is what you want. You can switch between the results of the "sorted by score" and "sorted by views" by clicking on the "[1/2]" part in the "Results" tab. | |

| Sep 17, 2021 at 3:45 | comment | added | galacticninja | Is there a SEDE query like Wondercricket's above, but sorts according to either question score or popularity (in terms of views)? This is so we can check how this will affect the top-voted or most popular questions. | |

| Sep 16, 2021 at 18:44 | comment | added | Timmy Jim Mod | @Nzall Here is a percentage I came up with, I reused part of the query Wondercricket posted. Take this with a grain a salt, but I think I did it correct: data.stackexchange.com/gaming/query/1462149 | |
| Sep 16, 2021 at 18:01 | comment | added | Wondercricket | @Nzall Here's something that might work. Took me a minute to figure out to query the data | |

| Sep 16, 2021 at 17:53 | comment | added | Nzall | I'd like to first request some additional information before I make a judgment, namely a statistic: How many questions with an accepted answer have one or more OTHER answers with a higher score than the accepted answer? | |
