I occasionally notice this odd duplicate notice, but only for questions that were closed a long time ago. Apparently there was an update that changed the interface, changed how closing questions as duplicates work, but it didn't exactly migrate older questions to look correct after the update. Can this be fixed?

1Because all related bug reports to new changes are commonly made as answers to the related announcements. After a period of time, new bug reports are to be made as questions.– Spevacus ModCommented Dec 11, 2020 at 5:19

There also is a question about it on MSO: Question closed as duplicate, but no link given? and This question already has answers where?. This is already well-known.– Sebastian SimonCommented Dec 11, 2020 at 8:13
