> Asking where in the documentation is something is always tricky, specially because it usually means "I didn't read the documentation clearly". Also...

It’s not asking for documentation, it’s quite literally asking how to do something. There are links to documentation to prove that I read all the documentation I could (to preemptively ward off the question getting closed).

Yes, I deleted it because I solved the question myself, no need for it to exist as a closed question. How can I “Edit the question so it can be answered with facts and citations. You can edit the question or post a new one.”? The answer is quite literally facts (the message format) and citations which is what I was hoping to get from someone else answering.

I undeleted it so I could give this example.

> So, yeah, obviously you will be able to show that as example because you didn't give anyone the opportunity to look at it again.

What would looking at it again do? I had no idea it was being voted to close in the first place; I have no way to request a review; and the instructions for what to do to “fix” the questions make absolutely no sense so there’s nothing to change before it gets “looked at again”.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
