The close reasons need to be updated to include the new website.

Going forward, how will this be handled when we have hundreds of sites? I don't want to deal with a drop down that has more than a few possibilities...

How so? the site hasn't proven it will survive private or public beta thresholds.

So, at best, this is premature.

edit: we do have new question migration paths but I don't think webapps is a valid path from Stack Overflow -- unless you can cite more than a trickle of closed questions that belonged there.

  • This question is tagged status-deferred. I don't know when it was tagged this way, as this answer is the top answer, I think that it's worth saying, as Web Applications is 13 years old, this answer is obsolete.

  • @Rubén-PeopleFirst From the edit history and timestamps you can see the tag was added eight seconds after this answer was posted on Jul 1, 2010.

The correct current answer is to mark it for closure as off topic.

If you feel kind, point to the correct other place to ask the question. I agree though, more than 3 or 4 places to vote to move something is going to turn me off from voting to move things there. I liked the idea that came up elsewhere of requiring some level of rep on the target system before you could initiate a vote to move a question there.

  • Note the close box was recently revamped so other sites are sub-choices of the off-topic reason: votes for migrating are now also formally off-topic votes.

  • Yes. That's the point. It works fine when there are 4 options, but it won't work fine at all when there are 10, or 20, or 50.

  • I take it back. After the server migration, there don't seem to be any options for where to migrate a question.

    The close reasons have changed, I think that a couple of times since 2010, so this answer is obsolete.

As of July 15th, 2023 this question is tagged + .

I don't think that "belongs to {{community}}" should be a close reason because there are overlapping across SO Inc. public Q&A platform communities, i.e., questions about Microsoft Excel formulas might be asked in

  • Stack Overflow
  • Super User
  • Web Applications, if the question is about using one Excel online or it's related to a web application.
  • ...

On the other hand, nowadays it is possible to migrate questions, ref. What is migration and how does it work?.
