On the flags tab of the 10k tools, items that are voted on to close are shown, along with the reasons the items are being voted on to close, and a button to flag the post:
These items are appearing in the section when people vote to close. When I click on the flag button, I get the following:
This is not what I expect when I click the flag button. Perhaps it is correct that a flag dialog comes up when a "flag" button is clicked, but it seems to me that having an item that has close votes showing up on the flags page allowing people to flag it for moderator attention is a little strange.
I think this point is especially important because this can ultimately affect flag weight negatively; a moderator might be prone to dismiss a flag (or whatever they do to remove it and have a negative impact on flag weight) if they see that a question is going to be handled naturally by the community.
Placing the ability to flag on these items gives 10K+ rep users the impression that items which are on their way to being closed should be flagged instead, which is incorrect.
