Something that was pointed out in a recent answer on another question here on meta:
Often a newcomer will ask a question which turns out to be a duplicate. This question will then be marked as such, and often nothing further will happen.
While this is all as it should be, it may leave the newcomer feeling like they did something wrong for not finding the duplicate themselves.
For this reason I propose that when we mark such questions as duplicate, we also make some remark indicating that this is not a fault with the question, and that the existence of this new version will help future visitors to find the answer they need. Hopefully, this will make the newcomer feel more welcome and they will be more inclined to stick around and ask other questions or even answer some.
