How should QA reposts be linked if discussion in both places?
-
These two questions: C program that gives me the date after n days[^] Date after n days without using functions[^] are both the same question (actually from the same user under two memberships, see the comments :sigh: ). In any case, there is noteworthy discussion in both places. Is there a standard/suggested way to link the two together so that all of the discussion is captured and cross-referenced?

The Date after n days without using functions[^] was closed as a repost/duplicate. (When I marked it as such, I forgot about the potential of it automatically getting closed... :doh: ) The comments/discussion there were not captured and a lot of the information in solving the issue was on that question. So, my question still stands on how to keep all of the context of the complete discussion. Any suggestions? Is there (should there be) a standard way to ensure the relevant discussion is preserved?
