| May 20, 2017 at 17:55 | comment | added | Midavalo | @JonEricson Again, I don't care to know if my question from last year was eventually closed; I've moved on. But it would be nice to know if my unanswered question from last week could be reopened with a strategic edit - is anything in the works? As a moderator I intentionally try to leave a comment just so users get a notification, but if a question is closed via community vote it's quite possible a question can be closed without the asker being notified. An edit or clarification might get it reopened, but they don't come to look due to no notification. | |

| Feb 17, 2017 at 22:40 | comment | added | Wrzlprmft | Finally, your data contradicts the one presented by @Shog9 here, according to which the new duplicate UI raised the percentage of edits from 6 % to 12 %. While it is theoretically possible that this rose to 38.5 % later, I find this quite unlikely. | |
| Feb 17, 2017 at 22:27 | comment | added | Wrzlprmft | It might not seem like it, but those are encouraging numbers. – If I am understanding this correctly and the Edited and Reopened percentage is given with respect to all closed questions (and not only questions that have been edited), I find this is very encouraging: If a user edits a question that is closed as unclear for example, there’s an 81 % chance of reopening. | |
| Feb 17, 2017 at 22:21 | comment | added | Wrzlprmft | Instead, any close notification should link to the edit window – it already does (if you are referring to the notice beyond the question, once it’s closed). Also, the second quote looks off as well – I do not know what you want to tell us. | |
| Feb 17, 2017 at 19:44 | comment | added | Jon Ericson | @Shog9: The tricky bit is that it's possible to get to duplicate from the question you asked, but harder to go the other way. I worry people will be confused about a notification that goes to a question they have nothing to do with. And what happens when the duplicate close is invalid? Maybe "Your question has an answer here: . . ."? | |
| Feb 17, 2017 at 18:30 | comment | added | Shog9 | The binding vote link is unnecessary, IMHO @Jon - kinda distracts from the important link, don't it? | |
| Feb 17, 2017 at 18:29 | comment | added | Shog9 | Unless you're on the API/app, those deleted comment notifications don't stick around, @zaq | |
| Feb 17, 2017 at 18:18 | comment | added | Jon Ericson | @zaq: Ah. That probably explains why so many people come back to edit duplicates. I wondered if that was the case, but didn't test to be sure. It would be better if we had a more deliberate notification. | |
| Feb 17, 2017 at 18:14 | comment | added | Jon Ericson | @Shog9: As in, the wording is confusing? Or because I'm trying to shove too many links into the notification? | |
| Feb 17, 2017 at 18:14 | comment | added | user315433 | According to Dupehammer creates and deletes a comment, causing notifications to go out, dupehammering does create a notification. (But perhaps mod-dupe-closing doesn't?) | |
| Feb 17, 2017 at 17:48 | comment | added | Shog9 | First quote looks... Off. | |
