I have seen it mentioned that since the C.SE has been active for so many years, there seem to be fewer new questions coming in. Given that, along with the high number of questions which have been closed due to errors in formulation, would it be copasetic for someone to rewrite some of those lingering ill-formed closed questions? (Assuming of course that it has been a long enough time that it appears the OP has abandoned the question?)
If so, would it be preferable for a person to open a whole new question page and reference back to the original question, or just edit the original? (I'm thinking one would need to begin a fresh question page in order to get Rep points for writing the question, true?)
