"marked as duplicate" pointing to a 5yo answer with links that 404
- einpoklum 3y agoAn answer relying on links rather than its own text is actually against policy, and should not have stayed up. Unfortunately, there is a moderator strike now so I can't tell you to flag such an answer...
- JimDabell 3y agoYou don’t mark answers as duplicates, you mark questions as duplicates. And if it’s a duplicate question, the new answer should be posted to the old question. So it’s correct to mark the question as a duplicate. Otherwise all the people arriving at the original question won’t see the new answer.
