I'm reviewing flags, and I see this:

flagged post

It looks like mild lunacy, and I'd probably flag as low quality and move on. However, looking at the actual answer shows that it's not quite as mad as it seemed:

answer showing YouTube video

It looks like a potentially useful answer from a new user who could fix up the post.

Is it possible to have [video] and [image] placeholders in the Flagged Posts tool so that it's easy to see when there is relevant information that we might be missing? I would not have expanded this post given its content.

With the Moderator Dashboard design changes, rolled out in 2019, you can expand the flagged post and see any images or YouTube videos linked in-line.

I posted an answer to the Formatting Sandbox, and flagged it myself to get you some screenshots. Here's the flag modal, not expanded:

Expanding the flag results in the following view:

I can also confirm that images work in much the same manner.

  • @fredley - Yeah I've been on a bit of a lazy crusade trying to triage and prioritise our bugs and feature requests. Got us down from like 300+ to 192 over the course of 2 years.
