| Nov 8, 2023 at 15:19 | comment | added | FreeMan | Since this is a Question & Answer site, it goes without saying that once you've clicked the "Ask Question" button you're asking a question. However, not everyone is able to figure that out, hence, "Question about ___" question titles... :( (Yes, I finally got around to clicking the "story ID checklist link" that is frequently posted.) | |

| Mar 26, 2016 at 11:41 | comment | added | moopet | @user14111 why would the words "question about" be useful in a question title? There's a limited space for words, and that's just a waste - not to mention it immediately indicates that the questioner has no clue how to phrase a question and so reading the full description is probably a waste of time. | |
| Mar 26, 2016 at 3:45 | comment | added | user14111 | @randal'thor Would "Question about Attack of the 50-Foot Woman" be a good title, or do you think it needs to be more descriptive? | |
| Mar 25, 2016 at 12:04 | comment | added | Rand al'Thor Mod | @user14111 How? It tells you nothing about the content of the question except what one of the tags is. Surely a more descriptive title like "Why did Harry Potter do XYZ?" would be much better! | |
| Mar 25, 2016 at 8:33 | comment | added | user14111 | @randal'thor In a sane world, "Question about Harry Potter" would be a good title. | |
| Mar 24, 2016 at 10:55 | comment | added | Rand al'Thor Mod | Yes, titles can definitely be a problem, and we very often have to edit them when reviewing new story-ID questions. This problem also shows up with non-story-ID questions though: I've seen titles like "Question about Harry Potter". | |
