| Dec 23, 2015 at 22:47 | comment | added | Shog9 Mod | Rather than training people to flag if they're not currently doing so, I'd recommend just periodically reviewing closed questions and migrating those that warrant it, @Kaveh. This gives you a chance to test two things: how many off-topic questions are actually worth migrating, and how many get rejected in practice. No sense training folks to pan for gold if there isn't any. | |
| Dec 23, 2015 at 22:37 | comment | added | Kaveh | I doubt that would work for the same reasons that people do not normally flag for migration and moderators seldom migrate questions by themselves. If you want a better estimate of how often the migration path could be used if we had it you can go over the questions closed as off-topic and see how many of them would be on-topic on cs. My impression is that we get such questions quite regularly. | |
| Dec 23, 2015 at 21:35 | comment | added | Jon Ericson StaffMod | @Kaveh: That's not what I meant. Instead, I suggest encouraging people to flag for migration and/or moderators manually migrate questions that have been closed with this custom off topic reason. It's likely there will be plenty of good migrations to turn the default path on, but I'd like to be sure. (In case you hadn't read Shog's answer, migrations are a feature we hope to de-emphasize. They are often a poor user experience for everyone involved.) | |
| Dec 23, 2015 at 21:27 | comment | added | Kaveh | So the migration path is going to be activate temporarily for a few months to collect better statistics? Sounds good to me. | |
| Dec 23, 2015 at 19:32 | comment | added | Jon Ericson StaffMod | @Kaveh: Makes sense. If you feel like experimenting with migrating questions rather than straight up closing them, we can revisit in a month or two. | |
| Dec 23, 2015 at 1:56 | comment | added | Kaveh | Jon, we typically close off-topic questions without migration. Migration needs a mod action and mods very seldom do so. I think the real criteria is how many off-topic questions would be properly migrated. Also note that 25% is just one question, i.e. the sample size is way too small for a conclusion about the probability of improper migrations is high. | |
