| May 19, 2022 at 13:09 | comment | added | MCW Mod | My impression is that OP is not the first user to be confused by the closure process, and I completely understand why the closure process is confusing to new users who don't have the privilege to see the closure reason (which is the way I interpret the question above). What's the reference we can point such users to to (1) explain the process and (2) help them re-engage with the re-open process (after resolving any issues addressed in comments)? This may exist, but I can't locate it, and I'd be happy if someone were to educate me. | |

You're supposed to follow the links it provides to our meta or to this help center page (which is editable) for site-specific information on topicality, I believe. If you think that's unclear, I'd probably agree, but that discussion would be for meta.stackexchange.com, since we can't edit it here. | |

On that note: help page talks about "previously known as "off-topic", close banner bluntly states "off topic"? / So, is there a better explanatory page than help-centre, or a a MetaSE one, or should perhaps we write one up? | |
