close vote not count if close from question page

Question

I was reviewing Close Vote and to check detail of the question, if we open question and close from the question page close link in bottom of the question then it will not count in the total close vote.

Please check below screenshots for detail.

I opened question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25869079/my-python-script-doesnt-do-anything-but-it-runs from Close Vote page. (Count for close vote was 983)

Then I checked question by clicking on its link and click on close.

After closing question, it shows question is closed by me.

If I check from Close Vote review page then it shows, post is closed, but count of close votes is still 983.

Answer 1

So you're saying you should be able to close the question twice? This is status-bydesign, so that if you already voted to close on a question outside of the review queue, you can't vote on it inside the queue too. That's why it didn't give you credit for the review since you weren't eligible to review it at that point.

As you'll notice, you are never shown questions in the close queue that you have previously voted to close. Whether you voted on it 1 hour ago, two days ago, or a year ago. You are only eligible to do close reviews on questions that you haven't already voted to close.

So if you want credit for a review, you need to do the action in the queue, not outside of it.
