You say that the author of a question “should be aware of why their question is being closed.” Well, then, if a question that’s young enough to migrate gets close votes that say “Off-Topic” > “This question belongs on another site in the Stack Exchange network”, can’t the author get to the “Closing > Off-Topic” window that says “This question belongs on another site in the Stack Exchange network” and the “Closing > Off-Topic > Migration” window that says “belongs on ______”? | |
| Dec 6, 2013 at 3:39 | comment | added | nhinkle Mod | @Scott when using the close > off topic menu, there's a potential for the question to get migrated. If you leave a comment, the user might misinterpret it. We discourage people from leaving any sort of comment that says "this question belongs on" unless it's accompanied by a qualifier that it'll be moved automatically for them if necessary. | |
| Dec 6, 2013 at 2:42 | comment | added | Scott - Слава Україні | @nhinkle: P.S. My exact words were “This question belongs on webapps.stackexchange.com.” -- which is copied from the “This question belongs on another site in the Stack Exchange network” (i.e., migration) option on the “Closing > Off-Topic” menu for questions that aren’t too old to be migrated. | |

| Dec 4, 2013 at 16:50 | comment | added | Scott - Слава Україні | @nhinkle: I didn’t (or, at least, I didn’t mean to). I clicked on “Close”; under “Why should this question be closed?”, I clicked on “off-topic because…”; and, under “Closing > Off-Topic”, I clicked on “Other (add a comment explaining what is wrong)” and filled in the “Comment” box. I expected that to be treated as a custom close reason that would be visible only to those >3000 users who can cast Close votes. But, even as it is, who’s going to see it except for people who find it through the Close Review queue (or this MSU question)? (It is a two-year-old question, after all.) | |
| Dec 4, 2013 at 4:56 | comment | added | nhinkle Mod | Hm. Confirmed that there's no migration-disabled notice. Please don't say in comments "should be asked on site" though. This encourages cross-posting. | |
