| 14 hours ago | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | The question has merit, but answer can be given same way in the other questions asking the same thing. My best guess is that it's combo of historical behavior and redundancy on purpose, e.g. like there are several links to the help center. (top bar help icon, top bar site list then help, etc.) | |

Duplicate of The new Hierarchical Flag Menu has issues, Flag as "a duplicate" vs "should be closed -> duplicate of" [duplicate] | |
| 15 hours ago | comment | added | VLAZ | I've also removed the [duplicate-answers] tag as I see how it applies. Do feel free to add it back with an explanation for how duplicate answers are relevant for the flag/close reason that is only for questions. | |

| 15 hours ago | comment | added | VLAZ | Also, you say "very similar features" - do you believe these aren't the same? | |
| 15 hours ago | comment | added | VLAZ | "However, having three routes for very similar features is unintuitive." uh, it's the exact opposite. It offers more routes, therefore, different people can use what is most intuitive to them. I don't get why you believe this to be a problem. | |
| 16 hours ago | comment | added | MisterMiyagi | Seeing how many people still answer blatant duplicates, perhaps three locations for dupe closure still isn’t enough… | |

Add relevant tag. Elaborate in the question body. 1-2-3 looks better than 1-1-1 in markdown.

| 20 hours ago | comment | added | bobble | If a user mightv reasonably expect to find the duplicate menu in three separate places, what's the harm of putting it in all of those places? | |
| 22 hours ago | comment | added | hardmath | I'm not your downvoter, so I can only comment about the prospects of my own voting. The first impression is that your post is overly terse; it doesn't seem to reflect research on the history of these mechanisms. However you might be a newish user, and the second thought I have is that your observation is novel. I'd never thought about the apparent redundancy. In general I have enough rep to vote-to-close without bothering with flagging (that would be my typical for spam/rudeness rather than duplication). So I give you credit for looking at things from a different POV. | |
