Link to Monica's answer for reference
- ## A limit of 1 character for Challenges and Sandbox
Now that Monica has pointed out that adjusting the minimum is already possible per category, I propose that we leave the minimum at 15 characters for Q&A and Meta, and reduce the minimum to 1 character for Challenges and Sandbox.- ### Why 1 character?
- This will allow titles that consist of just the name of a constant, such as $e$ or $\pi$.
- More seriously, I would not expect most titles to need to be anywhere near this short, but setting the minimum somewhere between 1 and 15 may leave someone wishing it was just 1 character less. Setting it to 1 means that challenge authors can decide for themselves what length makes sense for each challenge.
- If this sounds too extreme, please post an answer with a counterproposal so we can see which the community prefers.
