What is the meaning of 'Alternate Wordings' on WikiAnswers?
Alternate wordings are different ways of writing a question. An example is: "What are alternate wordings?" and "What is an alternate wording?". Both questions are trying to ask the same thing, so when two like questions are merged together, one becomes an alternate wording, so when someone types in that different wording in the ask bar, they will get redirected to the actual, grammatically correct question.
How do you add alternate wordings to questions on WikiAnswers?
On the left toolbar, click on 'Edit Alternates' under the 'Question tools'. At the bottom of the page, under 'Add new alternate wordings', type in the question reworded. Also, alternate wordings are created by saying a question is the same as another when asking a new question.
Where are your discarded questions displayed?
If a question has been deleted, it will no longer be displayed anywhere. If it has been merged or edited, it will appear in the list of alternate wordings of the new question.
Why is it important to add alternate wordings to WikiAnswers questions?
Alternate wordings enable a question to be found. When you ask a question with the Ask bar at the top of this page, using the exact wording of a question or any of its alternates will send you directly to the question page. For example, "Why is it important to add alternative wordings to questions?" is an alternate of this question. If you anyone asks that, they'll find this page immediately. Also, the keywords inalternate wordingshave just as much value as the keywords in the primary wording of the question. Therefore, if someone searches for "alternative wordings" they're just as likely to find this question as if they searched for "alternate wordings."
What is the difference between merging answers and adding alternates on the WikiAnswers website?
Merging questions completely combines two questions together, this includes Related Links for both the questions, and alternate wordings, and is only done when two differently worded questions can have the exact same answer, adding alternate wordings to a question simply adds to a list of different ways to word that same exact question.

When should you move an alternate to the bad spelling tier?
The bad spelling tier is for all correct alternate wordings of the question being asked that is spelled incorrectly, or has a bad grammar syntax.
Why should you split alternate wordings on WikiAnswers?
If the alternate wording is "Is Casting Crowns a Christian band?" for the question "Who is the drummer of Casting Crowns?" They need to be split because they are two different questions.
