| [title] Merge as Duplicate | |
| - | [* red] |
| + | [* red] Three community user votes are required for the question to be deemed "merge as a duplicate." |
| [* icon_note] Duplicate questions are questions that ask the same thing and have the exact same answer. | |
| [* black] Often two questions are very similar, but the person asking the second question has not searched for or found the first question. | |
| [* black] The second person has a valid question, so we don't want to attack them for not understanding the system. | |
| [* icon_reminder] Marking the second question as a duplicate automatically gives it all the answers from the first question. | |
| [* icon_caution] In this case, you must be able to accurately judge whether a question is truly an exact duplicate. |
