Rollback to Revision 171 - I think this revision is better. It's a "quirk" because it's an unexpected way that the system is designed. It's also better to list the method for most modern deletions before the one for older deletions, which are rarer. Finally, the record is kept in other places which may have different data.

May 16, 2022 at 3:36 comment added Russell McMahon I'm a moderator on SE EE. If any of the above happen to users I'd be happy to attempt to remedy the problems to the extent that the system allows. | If an answer of mine has such a major issue that I'd wish to delete it (seldom, but it happens) I'd usually add a warning comment at the top and a brief summary of why. I may add a new answer if it seemed worthwhile - but incorrectness often become obvious when better and correct answers are posted. Usually an incorrect answer has enough valuable material in it that it's worth leaving, as long as a suitable warning is added at the top.
Mar 29, 2022 at 13:22 comment added Brian Drake I recently posted an answer, immediately realised the answer was rubbish and deleted it. But, as I understand it, the damage was already done: the question was bumped to the homepage, giving it attention it did not need (I did not think to check whether this actually happened). If my understanding is correct, continuing this behaviour could be used to manipulate the homepage, and there should be a penalty for it. Is there? And speaking of penalties, how does the question ban work?
Feb 23, 2022 at 16:00 comment added Androidcoder I clicked the delete button on an old question that I myself answered and got this: 'Delete this answered question? We do not recommend deleting questions with answers because doing so deprives future readers of this knowledge. See "I've thought better of my question; can I delete it?" for alternatives to deletion. Repeated deletion of answered questions can result in your account being blocked from asking. Are you sure you wish to delete?' That seemed riskey so I've left the question up despite a couple recent downvotes.

mention ability to see deleted questions you have answered
May 1, 2021 at 12:33 comment added aSemy I just found out that one of my questions was deleted. It's incredibly frustrating and saddening. I tried really hard to be specific, give examples, and ensure I'd get a high quality answer. It's a niche problem, so I was expecting it to take a long time before I got an answer. But someone randomly downvoted it a couple of days after I posted - no reason given. I tried asking but got no feedback. Now I found out the question was secretly deleted (bad UX; I got no notification or warning). This auto-delete system really sucks.

Dec 2, 2020 at 14:20 comment added ihavenoidea I'm scrolling through some old questions of mine and saw one that was closed and it currently stands at -1. Since it is closed (which I didn't agree at the time but whatever) and it has a negative score, why can't I delete it if it does not fit Stack Exchange standards? The question has an answer that indeed helped me, and I accepted it, but my point still stands.

Oct 10, 2020 at 22:32 comment added Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog @user3015682 Your question was probably migrated from another site, so when you deleted the question on the destination site, it marked it as a rejected migration which locked the question there (and unlocked the copy on the origin site).
