There are conflicting descriptions for marking as duplicates, if you are a gold tag badge holder.

Excerpt from the help center

...except for duplicate questions, which can be marked as duplicate with a single vote from a user who has earned a gold tag badge in one of that question's current tags, unless that user participated in editing the tags

Excerpt from Tim Post ♦'s answer

  • You can instantly close as a duplicate any question that was originally asked with a tag you have a gold badge for.
  • You can instantly reopen any question closed as a duplicate that was originally asked with a tag you have a gold badge for.

Which one of these is correct?

Tim Post's answer represents the original implementation of the feature. The help center represents how the feature currently works. It was changed in December 2015, but that'd be more obvious if we exposed the revision history or at least when it was last updated in the help center.
