Migration needs more clarity
One of the problems with migration is we don't offer good guidance. This advice hasn't really changed
The problem with allowing arbitrary sites to be entered is that a lot of the time, the community on one site has really no idea what is on-topic and considered of sufficient quality on another site. As such the Stack Exchange dev team has resisted adding a open-ended migrate option; the Stack Overflow community doesn't get to decide what is on topic in other communities, basically.
I have edited the Proposed column top hopefully clarify that some
Field | Current | Proposed |
---|---|---|
Modal Title | This question belongs on another site in the Stack Exchange network | Should be migrated to another site |
Modal Description | --- | This question is not within the scope of this site on this site, but is not low quality. Another Stack Exchange site has this topic within its scope, and moving it there may get it answered. |
General notice | This question was migrated to [$toSiteName$]($destinationUrl$) because it can be answered by $destinationSiteAudience$. | This question was migrated to [$toSiteName$]($destinationUrl$) because it is [out of scope on]($OnTopicUrl$) [$SiteName$] but is within the scope of $destinationSiteAudience$. |
