I just found this closed question. The banner saying it was closed shows 2 different reasons and who voted for each reason.
I've never seen this before. From what I've read, only the close reason with the most close votes gets shown. The "pertains only to a specific site" close reason had the most votes, yet both of them were still shown.
How and why did this happen?
When a question is closed as off-topic, all of the canonical (non-custom) sub-reasons which accumulated at least 2 votes or a diamond vote are shown as guidance for why the question was deemed off-topic. This effectively allows for up to two sub-reasons to appear, with a diamond as the fifth vote allowing a third sub-reason to appear (assuming a 2+2+diamond split).
