| Dec 7, 2017 at 6:41 | comment | added | Vylix | This is a good answer, but what should we do with the new questions? I don't see anything suggesting "we should treat them as new question" or "still close them as dupe of the old question" or something like that. This answer is better posted in gaming.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/12611/… instead | |

Even editing the others to denote they're outdated, while the intent is good, can be seen as vandalism. Your best bet is to just post your own answer. | |

If you see an old questions where all answers are outdated, you: 1) Add your new answer (if you have one). This pokes the question to the front page already. 2) You edit all other answers that are no longer related with a note and a link to your answer. If you don't have an answer, you just mark answers that are no longer related. | |

| Oct 2, 2017 at 18:46 | comment | added | PotatoEngineer | So if I have a better answer, I should both a) post my better answer, and b) mark the currently-accepted answer as "no longer useful"? It's pretty unlikely that the original answerer will come back and edit their own question. This two-step process sounds mostly like me promoting my own answer. | |
