| Apr 13, 2023 at 5:36 | comment | added | Catija StaffMod | @VLAZ don't forget - mods are exempt from that rule (plus cases where it's an exact duplicate and both questions were asked by the same user). That being said, I think we actually already remove the indication that the other question is answered when it's not. | |
| Apr 10, 2023 at 16:39 | comment | added | John Omielan | @VLAZ FYI, the OP may be referring to the issue that, originally, the duplicate close message, and duplicate target link, was actually embedded in the question text itself. Thus, a later edit could change this, such as removing the link to the duplicate question. However, AFAIK, this problem occurred fairly rarely, so I would not classify it as being "many questions", and the SE staff are not going to do anything about it at this time. | |

| Apr 9, 2023 at 7:27 | comment | added | VLAZ | This should be a bug. It's not possible to close a question as duplicate without supplying the duplicate. | |
