Fully worded questions only. How to / What to do ... ? should not end with "?" and here, it cannot be dropped

How to ... ? is wrong English

| Dec 31, 2023 at 22:19 | comment | added | questionto42 | Embarrassing for me, I have switched the duplicate with the duplicated question in those first two blocks at the beginning. Now it is right: the question here is about closing the younger question as a duplicate of the older. Else, I would have marked the older question as a duplicate rightaway. I guess that the answer to this meta question is that I will have to make the old question a duplicate of the younger question, but I wait for more remarks or answers. | |

wrong question said to be marked as duplicate

Generally it's worth doing if there's a compelling reason to- ie the newer question is 'better' somehow (more general / more varied answers etc) | |
