Return to Question

Assume a question which was put on hold as the result of voting via the Close votes review queue (on any SE site), as shown in this question's timeline: below the link to the actual close votes review result, it shows the typical (in red) "completed".

Note: Only bullet "1." seems to be somehow addressed in "https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/279553/286501", which doesn't talk about reopen voting in any way (only about close voting). And before posting this question, I never found any explanation (help or something) about bullet "2." and "3." for example C.

Update 1:

The existing answer appears to be an answer for Example A and B. But IMO it does stil not explain Example C. So until an even better answer arrives that also explains C, I accept this answer.

Only this comment should illustrate why what I wrote in my "note" above makes this question not a duplicate of "https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/279553/286501".

Preface:

This question is, IMO, not a duplicate of "https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/279553/286501", for these reasons:

• Only bullet "1." of my question seems to be partially addressed in the above question, which doesn't talk about reopen voting in any way (only about close voting).
• The above question does ot explain anything about bullet "2." and "3." of my question.
• The above question in no way addresses the scenario related to example C, where the real answer to that part of my question is included in the comment quoted near the end of my question.

Update 1:

The existing answer to my question here, appears to be an answer for Example A and B. But IMO it does stil not explain Example C. So until an even better answer arrives that also explains Example C, I accept this answer.

Only this comment should illustrate what I wrote in my "Preface" above ...

Assume a question which was put on hold as the result of voting via the Close votes review queue (on any SE site), as shown in this question's timeline: below the link to the actual close votes review result, it shows the typical (in red) "completed".

Similar for the result of voting via the Reopen votes review queue (on any SE site), as shown in the same question's timeline: below the link to the actual reopen votes review result, it shows the typical (in red) "completed".

However, there are questions where such "completed" is not shown:

• Example A where below the close votes review result it says "invalidated" (not "completed"):

• Example B where below the reopen votes review result it says "invalidated" (not "completed"):

• Example C where below the reopen votes review result it says "invalidated" (not "completed"):

My questions:

1. What does such "invalidated" actually mean?
2. What are possible cases where this happens?
3. Who or what actually "invalidates" such reviews of close or reopen votes, and why?

Note: Only bullet "1." seems to be somehow addressed in "https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/279553/286501", though I never found any explanation (help or something) about bullet "2." and "3." for example C.

Update 1:

My "impression" is that something happens (gets triggered) by a moderator-like intervention, maybe something like "stop this close/reopen voting" and my (next) guess is that such event then pulls the "invalidated" trigger. I may be wrong (just guessing), but that is what I saw happening in various similar cases over the recent past (and via this question I try to understand if there is such a thing, and if so what it is).

Update 2:

The existing answer appears to be an answer for Example A and B. But IMO it does stil not explain Example C. So until an even better answer arrives that also explains C, I accept this answer.

Update 3:

Note this comment below the accepted answer:

Sorry, I misread the dates. That one got invalidated because of a bug that existed back then (I believe it got fixed last year). Essentially any reopen vote causes the edit to be ignored, but the system only considered reopen votes at least 15 minutes old for review cases. So if the system updated review within that 15-minute, it would think the task is invalid because the edit doesn't qualify and the only reopen vote isn't old enough. It would kill the task and wouldn't recreate it unless a second reopen vote came in. I forget how it was fixed, I think we started ignoring the reopen vote time.
