Possible Duplicates:
Migrating questions causes too much visual noise
“Nicer” migration notice when closing questions as “belongs on X”
When a question is migrated, there are 8 links:
- "migrated to {destination site}", where {destination site} is the link to the new question
- "locked by {community}", where community is a link to the community user
- "closed as belongs on {destination site} by {user1}, ... , {user5} {some time} ago" where {destination site} now goes to the site's home page, and user{n} are the user-profiles
Problems:
- it isn't very friendly; a lot of migrated questions are by new users - how about some cotton wool?
- it isn't obvious which link takes you to the new question
- the {community} line seems redundant, just adding confusion?
- it is confusing that two links captioned the same go to different places
How about something more like:
It has been suggested that your question is more suited to {destination site}; your question has been migrated automatically, and can now be found {here}.
closed as belongs on {...} by {...}
(where {here} is the link to the new question)
Changes:
- it is a bit clearer to new users what has happened and why
- it is easier to see where the new question is - what to click on
- there aren't the "same label, different destination" phenomenon
- just a bit less jarring
Thoughts?
