  • What? No. It has a [status-completed] tag, it doesn't need an answer per se. Certainly not a "dummy answer". That's not how it works.

  • In fact, it looks like there needs to be an upvoted answer to get it off that list...

  • because it doesn't have an answer. It's not that big of a deal. Accepting a "dummy answer" is counterproductive. If Ivo had posted an answer saying, "OK, this is completed" then I would have accepted it, but a "dummy answer" does not answer the question. I appreciate your trying to help, and your flags on various other Meta questions have been quite helpful, but would suggest you delete this answer, as it doesn't do anything useful.
