How much reputation is required to see close vote counts?

Question

Edit:

With a background on the MSO question Separate numbers/score for positive and negative votes for each question or answer I was told that it is wrong to answer duplicate questions, and my answer was downvoted. I was wondering why I didn't see a close vote count in this case.

I thought this requires the privilege View close votes.

Related: view close votes is listed as requiring 250 rep on meta. I have 250, but I can't view close votes. At least, I've never seen the close link or anything like it here. — moinudin, Commented Jan 9, 2011 at 9:24
@marcog Good catch, it's the same on SO. I think that privilege is titled wrong; it's talking about the ability to cast close/reopen votes on your own questions. There is no separate privilege that I know of to just view close votes without being able to cast them. You might want to post this as a separate bug report — Michael Mrozek, Commented Jan 9, 2011 at 9:41
@Michael Found an existing bug report, where the content was clarified but not the name. Perhaps the name could also be clarified, e.g. "view close votes on your questions". — moinudin, Commented Jan 9, 2011 at 9:48
@marcog I think Gnome was right, it should be "Vote to close, reopen, or migrate your questions" like in the FAQ. I'll ask the privileges developer about it tomorrow if a dev doesn't see this first — Michael Mrozek, Commented Jan 9, 2011 at 10:10

You see them if you can cast them.

According to the privileges page, the reputation required to view close votes is 250, and the required rep to cast close votes is 3000.

The 250 actually only allows you to see closevotes on your own question.

from the privileges page: "You may also cast a close or reopen vote on your questions. With the close/reopen vote privilege, you'll be able to see (and cast) close and reopen votes on all questions."

@game that might be an error in the privileges page text, and we should correct it.

@Jeff: So what is correct? Can you only see your own at 250 or can you see all?
