| Oct 20, 2018 at 0:10 | comment | added | Phil Sweet | I disagree 100%. Do not close any EE or AE questions here because of overlap. Ever. There may be times where a sister site has a really specific tag for something, and it would be good to point that out. Just as I have pointed out that ENG has a "traffic intersections" tag to a fellow who asked on ELU what some piece of an intersection was called. But I didn't vote to close the question on ELU. Do not assume they will get better answers on EE, for example. And don't worry about dups. Duplicates are okay. They can coexist forever. | |

| May 27, 2015 at 7:16 | comment | added | Pacerier | Repeated answers is a big problem that SE isn't planning to solve (hint: more text = more things for google to index = more pageviews = more FFP). If we have 10 questions linked to one answer, updating is easy because we only need to apply the update in one place. Contrast that with 10 repeated questions each having it's own posted answer. Every update will require x10 effort. Practically speaking, in such a situation the update will not be pushed to all 10 posts, leaving us with an answer fragmented into 10 posts none of which is complete. | |
