Show related questions when reviewing

Question

I just started to use the new review process for First Posts.

Could we have the list of related questions shown when we review a question, as it helps to see duplicate questions?

I was reviewing close votes and would like it there as well. The close vote cast by others was for non duplicate reasons but it was such a simple question it must have been asked before.

Answer 1

I think this really needs to be added as a standard feature.

I find it a little irritating to have to leave the review queue to perform a thorough review, and in my mind a thorough review should include checking for duplicates.

Part of the purpose of the having the First Posts Review is to educate new users, part of that education should be to show them that they should search before asking and that duplicates should be closed. If the question is left open long enough to gather an answer and possibly even a few up-votes the opposite lesson is received.

Answer 2

Screenshot:

The related questions sidebar item is similar to the one on your right, but indicates which questions have accepted answers by coloring them green, additionally displaying the number of answers for each question in parentheses.

Description:

This is a short GreaseMonkey script that adds related questions to the sidebar, similar to how you see them on questions:

// ==UserScript==
// @name        firstposts
// @namespace   firstposts
// @include     *stackoverflow.com/review/first-posts*
// @version     1
// ==/UserScript==

$(document).ajaxComplete(function(e, xhr, settings){
    if(settings.url == "/review/next-task"){
        var response = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText);
        if (response.postId){
            $.getJSON("http://api.stackexchange.com/2.1/questions/" + response.postId + "/related?site=stackoverflow", function(data){
                var items = data.items;
                if(items.length){
                    var container = $('<div class="related" />');
                    for(var i = 0; i < items.length; i++){
                        var link = $('<a class="question-hyperlink" />').attr({href : items[i].link, target: '_blank'}).css('color', items[i].is_answered?"rgb(50,200,50)":"rgb(61,61,61)").text(items[i].title + " (" + items[i].answer_count + ")");
                        $('<div class="spacer" />').append(link).appendTo(container);
                    }
                    $('<div class="module sidebar-related" />').append($('<h4 />').text('Related')).append(container).appendTo($('.sidebar'));
                }
            });
        }
    }
});

Here's a minified version for bookmarking:

javascript:(function(){$(document).ajaxComplete(function(e,t,n){if(n.url=="/review/next-task"){var%20r=JSON.parse(t.responseText);if(r.postId){$.getJSON("http://api.stackexchange.com/2.1/questions/"+r.postId+"/related?site=stackoverflow",function(e){var%20t=e.items;if(t.length){var%20n=$('<div%20class="related"%20/>');for(var%20r=0;r<t.length;r++){var%20i=$('<a%20class="question-hyperlink"%20/>').attr({href:t[r].link,target:"_blank"}).css("color",t[r].is_answered?"rgb(50,200,50)":"rgb(61,61,61)").text(t[r].title+"%20("+t[r].answer_count+")");$('<div%20class="spacer"%20/>').append(i).appendTo(n)}$('<div%20class="module%20sidebar-related"%20/>').append($("<h4%20/>").text("Related")).append(n).appendTo($(".sidebar"))}})}}})})();

If any one finds any bugs / has ideas for improvements / has any ideas on how to turn this into an addon, I'm all ears.
