Post History

Add a list of standard close reasons to the help center. It must include the full list of shared close reasons (those that exist across all CD sites), as well as any additional standard close reasons for the specific community.

The list must talk about the scope of questions, and why these close reasons exist. Why do we close posts? What is the reasoning behind it? How should closure be applied?

This help center article is supposed to both be informative, and explain why we close questions. Can link to an MCD Q/A that goes more in depth.

I'm not sure where else I'd expect to find this particular list. In the close vote dialog, yes, but that's only available to those with the "curate" ability. The flagging dialog should also list these standard close reasons, however, a longer discussion of them isn't appropriate there. It would also better serve as a shortcut to them, rather than being the list to read.

Some communities already have somewhat of such a list, Software CD, for instance. MCD does not have one. In general, I'm lost as to where I should go to find this, and I need to perform manual searches in the help center to find them (literally clicking into each page, because I don't recognize which page would contain this, based on the titles).
