Following the answer of How can I suggest to change "X is a duplicate of Y" to "Y is a duplicate of X"?, I'm posting my question here:

How do I full-screen my CMD? is marked as a duplicate of Fullscreen Vista's Command Prompt, or Replacement. But:

  • the first is more general: [windows]
  • higher-voted
  • more marked as favorite
  • the wording is clearer
  • the title is more precise: "How do I full-screen my CMD?"
  • is much easier to find from a search-engine

than the second question which

  • is more specific [windows-vista]
  • has a poorer title because it focuses mainly on Vista "Fullscreen Vista's Command Prompt, or Replacement"

I would like to post a new answer, but:

  • I don't want to do it on the second (I've never used Windows Vista, so posting an answer specific for Vista makes no sense)
  • the first is closed and no longer accepting an answer (I wanted to post one there).

Could we swap the duplicates?

(I raised a flag but anyway, this is probably not the best way to suggest such a duplicate swap.)

NB: the only argument against a swap is the creation date, but eventually, this should not matter: as we're building a knowledge base, only the best content should be favored and the creation date is not really important.

Swap the duplicates (the general question is closed, the vista-specific one is open)
