Alright, I thought up a generic form to put the questions in, and one question candidate.

This question looks like it'd be a pretty good fit for Code Review.SE, but before posting there, please make sure that (a) _____ (b) _____ (c) _____

They should probably each be short and encapsulate the idea that:

  1. You want a review on every facet of the code, not just some.
  2. The code in question works as intended.
  3. The code in the question is actual code, not hypothetical or pseudocode.

Phrancis brought up a good point in chat: There should also be something to the effect of

If all three criteria are met, please delete this question and post it on Code Review.

Put all that together, and you get something like this:

This question looks like it might be a pretty good fit for Code Review.SE, provided that (a) you want a full review, (b) your code is already working, and (c) you're asking for a review of concrete, real code, not abstract design (whether or not it's expressed as code).
