Let's change text of "resolved in a manner unlikely to help future readers" close reason

Question

I occasionally vote to close a question because I believe it was "resolved in a manner unlikely to help future readers". Often enough others agree that the question does get closed.

A recent example is a question where a user asked why a feature introduced in version N of Vim wasn't working in a version of Vim later than N, only to realise in the comments that they actually were using a version of Vim earlier than N.

So this is all working correctly, except the full text of the close reason is:

This question was caused by a problem that can no longer be reproduced or a simple typographical error. While similar questions may be on-topic here, this one was resolved in a manner unlikely to help future readers.

This, more specific, reason often doesn't technically apply, but it's still the closest reason from the current list.

I therefore propose changing the text of the close reason.

I'm open to improvements, but as a starting point, how about simply:

This question was resolved in a manner unlikely to help future readers.

Or if we wanted to include the existing requirements:

This question was resolved in a manner unlikely to help future readers. (It can no longer be reproduced, or was caused by a simple typographical error, etc.)

Answer 1

After the discussion on my previous answer, I'll post this as a separate votable answer (slightly modified from what I suggested in the comments):

Unlikely to help future readers

While similar questions may be on-topic here, this question was resolved in a manner unlikely to help future readers because it can no longer be reproduced, was caused by a simple typographical error, or caused by another issue that is unlikely to be encountered by future readers.

Answer 2

I'm very happy with Martin's answer, but it never got implemented, so suggesting another version in case it's preferable:

Unlikely to help future readers

Similar questions may be on-topic here, but this specific issue is unlikely to be encountered by other users. For example, it may no longer be reproducible, or may have been caused by a simple typographical error.

Answer 3

I don't overly care about the exact verbiage, but I feel it's important to keep a reference to "while similar questions may be on-topic here" or something along those lines, which your proposals drop. It communicates there is nothing wrong with this type of question as such. Without it, people might think "oh, plugin questions are off-topic" or some such.

This current text was, if I remember correctly, copied verbatim from what Stack Overflow had at the time (2015). The current text on Stack Overflow is:

Not reproducible or was caused by a typo

While similar questions may be on-topic here, this one was resolved in a way less likely to help future readers.

This still retains "not reproducible or was caused by a typo" in the title, but I think that's okay as it covers 99% of the questions. The actual text is much shorter though.

So I propose we just copy/update it again from Stack Overflow, which seems like a fine phrasing to me.
