I would like to understand better why How to upgrade pgAdmin 4 version 1.1 to version 2.1? was closed as `too localized'.
Was it because it is not relevant to most of our audience
? Or was because it is 'too trivial'? Or both, i.e. because it is trivial is not relevant to most users in DBA SE? Or something else?
I thought it was not too localized because:
- pgAdmin is frequently being upgraded (in a monthly basis) and it is a software widely used by people working with PostgreSQL;
- Someone who is probably far from where I am, asked a question I wanted to know the answer (I mean, it is not too specific).
Previously related questions were asked in Meta: How to edit my question or is it too localized?. This one I understand the question was very specific to OP's circumstances and nearly off-topic in scope. And Closed as Too Localized. This one is similar, but different in the sense subject there was not trivial (at least to me).
Probably users voting to close as 'too localized' know what they are doing, but do new folks usually understand well this message?
Assuming the 'too trivial' premise is correct (if it is not, please disconsider), perhaps we could improve the close reason to:
"Too localized - this could be because your code has a typo, basic error,
orit is not relevant to most of our audience, or is too trivial. Consider revising your question so that it appeals to a broader audience. As it stands, the question is unlikely to help other users.
