<p>This limit that the website platform has for close reasons occurs more often in these discussions.</p>
<p>Possibly we can hack this by making a 'read more' link for several of these close reasons and create a wiki page for each of these cases?</p>
<p>The link to <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/help/on-topic">off-topic</a> already sort of does this and possibly the information about the open data site and about the support links could be placed there.</p>
<p>For example the message could be something like:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>This question appears to be off-topic because it focuses on programming, debugging, or performing routine operations, or it asks about obtaining datasets. Read more on our <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/help/on-topic">help page about off-topic posts</a> for information about improving your question or for places where you can ask the question instead.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Then we have only a <em>single</em> link and people will be more easily guided to a more complete help text where they can get more information rather than that they might follow a dead end with one of the two links in the current message.</p>
