Migration of MSO links to MSE links

Jul 9, 2013 at 16:36 comment added Kim Morrison Mod Hi @AdamLear, could we turn on the migration path to stats.stackexchange.com now? We've already moved a few across which were very clearly identifiable as stats questions, and I'd be happy if this could be done by our users rather than requiring a mod.
Jun 29, 2013 at 15:53 comment added Adam Lear StaffMod @CodesInChaos There is some weirdness in how we calculate the rejection stats. You're seeing a 40% rejection rate on Crypto, but Security is showing 15%. However, that bug aside, closing as a duplicate doesn't reject a migration. When a migration is rejected, the question is locked on the destination site and unlocked/closed as off-topic on the source site. The redirect link between the two is also severed. This doesn't happen with questions closed as dupes on the destination site.
Jun 29, 2013 at 10:29 comment added CodesInChaos "migrations are considered to be rejected by the destination site when migrated questions are closed as anything other than "duplicate" or deleted." That doesn't appear to be true. If you look at the rejection stats for security->crypto they can only be explained if duplicates are considered "rejected". (6/14=42% vs. 2/14=14%)

Jun 28, 2013 at 10:10 comment added user9072 @Shog9 Thank you for the number. Does this search include deleted questions? (In more recent times most such things got deleted, while before hardly anything got deleted.) The problem might be bigger than this. But in any case there is a fair number of off-topic question that might fit on TeX. They might not contribute much to the tex site but OP will still get much better information, even if perhaps only via the link for the duplicate vote.
Jun 28, 2013 at 3:02 comment added Shog9 I found 66 comments containing the string "tex.stackexchange.com", 50 of them on closed questions. Just FYI, @Neil.
Jun 26, 2013 at 9:42 comment added Neil Strickland Anna, I think you should search the database of mathoverflow comments for the string "tex.stackexchange.com". I think you'll find that there are a reasonable number of cases where people have suggested that things should be moved there. Given that, I don't think we need to wait longer before setting up a proper migration path. I think that the same is true for stats.stackexchange.com.
Jun 26, 2013 at 6:17 comment added Asaf Karagila Mod Anna, I feel like we had this discussion before (and we did, on the meta.MSE site). If the migration paths are not open, there is a good chance people will prefer to just close it as off topic rather than flag it for migration. By that rationale, then, no migration path will be open because hardly any migration will occur. I think that opening migration paths for a month, or six weeks, and then closing those which are unused -- that's the better option. In that case, even if they are closed, users are still informed of those options and learn to flag for the migration.
