Assume a question which was put on hold as the result of voting via the Close votes review queue (on any SE site), as shown in this question's timeline: below the link to the actual close votes review result, it shows the typical (in red) "completed".
Similar for the result of voting via the Reopen votes review queue (on any SE site), as shown in the same question's timeline: below the link to the actual reopen votes review result, it shows the typical (in red) "completed".
However, there are questions where such "completed" is not shown:
Example where below the close votes review result it says "
invalidated" (not "completed"):Example where below the reopen votes review result it says "
invalidated" (not "completed"):
My questions:
- What does such "
invalidated" actually mean? - What are possible cases where this happens?
- Who or what actually "invalidates" such reviews of close or reopen votes, and why?
Note: Only bullet "1." seems to be somehow addressed in "https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/279553/286501", though I never found any explanation (help or something) about bullet "2." and "3.".
Update:
My "impression" is that something happens (gets triggered) by a moderator-like intervention, maybe something like "stop this close/reopen voting" and my (next) guess is that such event then pulls the "invalidated" trigger. I may be wrong (just guessing), but that is what I saw happening in various similar cases over the recent past (and via this question I try to understand if there is such a thing, and if so what it is).
