How does WikiAnswers collect question paraphrases in Other users have said this is the same as?

∙ 16y ago
When users type in a question on WikiAnswers, they are presented with a range of questions already existing on this site similar to the one they have just asked. If they believe their question is the same as one of these choices, it is added to the 'Other users have said this is the same as...' list of redirects. This prevents the duplication of questions asking the same thing in a different way.
