| Aug 5 at 0:55 | comment | added | user176372 | Thanks Cag, I think this sounds like a good solution for now. In fact, I missed your update and it's what I was coming around to anyway. Since this European version of the question is the first one in a "new" region, we can productively procrastinate on further merging for as long as another region-focused one doesn't appear. | |

It's just a particular post that the site community decided to make expansive and encompass, and then use as a duplicate closure target for anything on the topic henceforth. If the only reason to say "we shouldn't make it canonical" is the desire to avoid it seeming official, don't use that tag, but otherwise close the duplicates as duplicates as they should be. | |
| Aug 1 at 18:52 | comment | added | Anyon | @user176372 This seems like a good opportunity for a region-agnostic question that allows for region-specific answers. | |
| Jul 30 at 22:37 | comment | added | user176372 | I like the ideas for administrative alternatives to a canonical question-- I haven't seen very many merges in my time, so wasn't thinking about that. But also, I'm at least a bit reluctant with a solution that leaves question 1 independently open. My main issue there is that I'm fairly certainly (though not completely) that the question has a region-agnostic answer. There's also a variant of where I ask the region-agnostic question, mark it community-wiki, but we leave off the "canonical-question" tag, I suppose. | |
