| Dec 12, 2012 at 19:25 | comment | added | Manishearth | Migrated posts are eventually deleted on the original site. When such a migration is rejected, is the post supposed to become undeleted? | |
| Nov 1, 2012 at 17:14 | comment | added | BoltClock's a Unicorn Mod | I'm a little confused by the last two bullet points - is there any difference between them? Does the last point refer to answers on the migrated question that were posted on the destination site? | |
| Apr 4, 2012 at 13:49 | comment | added | Zelda | @ShaDowWizArd completely agreed, the process doesn't make much sense as is. Which is why I just deleted a question when migrating it back...it looked just like a normal, totally off topic/bad closed question | |
| Apr 4, 2012 at 13:20 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | @Ben cheers, but still - having one action cause major impact is something that need some alert, in my opinion. | |
| Apr 4, 2012 at 13:17 | comment | added | Zelda | @ShaDowWizArd in this case there was no link to the revisions on the question (it wasn't edited). I'll remember to check the /revisions next time though | |
| Apr 4, 2012 at 6:44 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | @Kevin looks like not all moderators are aware of this - see here for example - maybe add some warning before closing migrated question on its target site at least for the time being? | |
| Apr 4, 2012 at 6:43 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | @Ben there is clear indication in the /revisions of the question. Example | |
| Apr 1, 2012 at 5:16 | comment | added | Zelda | @KevinMontrose Ah...I was expecting a more visual indication that the migration was in fact rejected. So the question lives on both sites, but the answers only live on the migration source when rejected? | |
| Apr 1, 2012 at 5:06 | comment | added | Kevin Montrose | @Ben - ah no, there's still listed (unless actually deleted naturally). They probably shouldn't be (will have to talk to the team about edge cases), sort of historical interest-style... I'll look into getting that figured out next week. | |
| Apr 1, 2012 at 5:04 | comment | added | Zelda | @KevinMontrose it was sill visible on our front page...is that supposed to happen? non-mod users could see it, I figured rejecting the migration would remove them visually as well | |
| Apr 1, 2012 at 5:03 | comment | added | Kevin Montrose | @Ben looks correct to me, the answers were deleted and locked, the question was closed and locked, the source question has been unlocked, it's answers undeleted. History was recorded properly too, on the source site. Am I missing something, it is pretty late (for me). | |
| Apr 1, 2012 at 4:54 | comment | added | Zelda | @KevinMontrose deleted: ux.stackexchange.com/questions/19518/… another user says they saw the closed question on our site after I closed, but the answers were gone; I didn't manually delete the answers. Sounds like migration gone weird | |
| Apr 1, 2012 at 4:52 | comment | added | Kevin Montrose | @Ben - gonna need a link to investigate, what'd you close? | |
| Apr 1, 2012 at 4:51 | comment | added | Zelda | uhh I failed to reject a migrate when using the NC and NARQ close reasons, those are supposed to migrate, right? | |
| Mar 27, 2012 at 18:07 | comment | added | msh210 | I suggest bounceback not work where the two sites in question are (in either order) a site and its meta. (Except SO and MSO.) This, because the two sites in question have the same community (in theory) and the same mods (even in practice). | |
| Mar 27, 2012 at 13:42 | comment | added | casperOne Mod | Filed bug report on the whole undeleting answers when rejecting the migration here: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/127093/… - Note there's two bugs, given that deleting and undeleting the rejected migration re-deletes that which was deleted before the migration occurred. | |
| Mar 27, 2012 at 13:18 | comment | added | Zelda | @lunboks I assume it's locked/invisible just like migrated posts are on the source site, but I'd like to know for sure too | |
| Mar 27, 2012 at 13:16 | comment | added | casperOne Mod | The thing I'd change is is the undeletion of all answers. Moderators/10K'ers delete certain answers before migrating. If that migration is rejected, then the answers the moderator deleted before moving the question over should stay deleted as they weren't answers to begin with. Why duplicate the work? | |
| Mar 27, 2012 at 12:52 | comment | added | ale | Praise be! I've been hoping for this for a long time. | |

| Mar 26, 2012 at 22:44 | comment | added | a cat | But if the question is locked on the destination site, doesn't that mean it will stick around forever (on the would-be destination)? Locked means it won't be auto-deleted, and I don't think people could vote to delete it either. | |
| Mar 26, 2012 at 21:57 | comment | added | Kevin Montrose | @BenBrocka - no, it doesn't. | |
| Mar 26, 2012 at 21:53 | comment | added | Zelda | Does the post get bumped on the source site at time of bounceback? | |
| Mar 26, 2012 at 21:52 | comment | added | Kevin Montrose | @gnat - yes, and by that point some flags are getting auto-raised about the close/reopen war (which is existing behavior). | |
| Mar 26, 2012 at 21:51 | comment | added | user7116 | Could we get a 10k tools page that lists these bounce backs? | |

I read that wrong the first time
|
| Mar 26, 2012 at 21:39 | comment | added | gnat | I see, thanks. Ie, only if post is later re-opened, and gets close-votes again, and close-voters don't look into revision history, only then repeated migration is possible right? | |
| Mar 26, 2012 at 21:37 | comment | added | Kevin Montrose | @gnat - it's in the revision history, and the post is still closed so there's no way to re-migrate it without first re-opening it. | |
| Mar 26, 2012 at 21:35 | comment | added | gnat | would "bounced-back" question get any indication that there was an attempt to migrate at all? I ask because if not, this seem to put "destination" site at risk of getting it migrated again, due to same mistake as at prior attempt | |
