This question has been migrated to Stack Overflow (you'll probably have to search on [macro] to see the stub), and now because of the bad decision to link it directly to that question on SO, it can't be edited.

I was cleaning up the moving the six questions to and found that I could not clean up that question stub.

How exactly are we supposed to be able to edit that stub?

  • You CAN'T flag posts that are just stubs. It's another Stack Exchange bug/loophole. This post is my flag.

  • @Sathya, No, you most certainly can't. As soon as you click on the question, you're taken to the other site. I could never get into the Super User question stub. Maybe you mods can, so you don't realize it, but that's how it works for us little people.

    @LanceRoberts I'm not a mod on SO. Once you're on the migrated site, clicking on "migrated from..." takes you back to the original site with ?noredirect=1 parameter, so you remain on that page. Confirmed this works for an unregistered user/visitor as well.

  • @Sathya, now that's a cool trick, not real intuitive, but I'll remember it. I should go find a hidden features of Stack Overflow post and add that.
