On this question the delete notice is above, instead of below the close notice. Why is this happening? I understand this was made on purpose, but would like to know the reasoning.

5I see a more crucial bug here. Why did the quality filter not block that post, thus wasting four users' (of which one is a moderator) time taking care of it?– user8397947Commented Nov 25, 2016 at 18:10

@dorukayhan You can ask that as a separate question (and probably it would be better to ask that on Meta Stack Overflow instead of here).– Michał PerłakowskiCommented Nov 25, 2016 at 18:11

1From quick look now, the delete notice appears above the close notice on all closed questions that are also deleted. Since I can't remember how it used to be before, can't tell if it changed or was always like that. Personally, I find it better this way, since the "main" event is the deletion.– Shadow WizardCommented Nov 25, 2016 at 18:15

@ShadowWizard I remember that the delete notice used to be below the close notice.– Michał PerłakowskiCommented Nov 25, 2016 at 18:17

3I also cannot comment as to whether it at one point was or was not above or below. That said, it makes more sense to show things in sequential order. First comes the question, then comes closure, then deletion, then rage-quit (that's what the comments are for)– Diminutive ColossusCommented Nov 25, 2016 at 18:18

4Removed the "support" tag, as what exactly is the support issue here? Removed the "bug" tag, as - what's the bug here? This is how the notices are on all questions that have been closed and deleted. I will not debate whether the order is right or not - it is entirely subjective, and as Shadow Wizard commented, the more important bits of information are presented first.– Oded StaffModCommented Nov 25, 2016 at 18:36

1@dorukayhan you might be interested in this recent feature request: Disallow entire questions from being entirely bold, italic, ALL CAPS or linked– gnatCommented Nov 25, 2016 at 18:49

@Oded I tagged it with [bug], because the order of notices used to be different.– Michał PerłakowskiCommented Nov 25, 2016 at 20:31

@Gothdo irrespective of whether this is different or not, I would consider a bug to indicate that things were worse - if the order was not previously an acceptance criterion, then its changing is not a bug. And why does it matter?– jonrsharpeCommented Nov 25, 2016 at 21:15

The delete notice appears above the close notice on all closed questions that are also deleted, and this is on purpose, as Stack Exchange developer confirmed in comments.
The reasoning, at least as I see it, is the importance of things.
When a question is deleted, that's what matters most, the fact it's also closed is less important.

Does this happen on all the questions? Commented Nov 26, 2016 at 15:55
