What you have is a situation where the correct wording - the one that you want to create - is already an alternate to anotherquestion.

You will get a message something like this:

"Others have said that '[your question]' is the same as [the question that it is an alternate of]. Is this correct?"

Merge - Yes, and merge the original question

Split - No, these are different questions.

Since your wording is trapped inside that "wrong" question, you want to choose "Split." Now, the question you are working on will become an alternate to the correctly spelled version you were trying to create in the first place.

What causes this FALSE message 'That wording already exists in several forms' when adding an alternate wording?

"the message means that there is a question posted, using that alternate wording, that already has answers associated with it. It seems that the best thing to do is recommend a merge. The way to do this is to click to "improve" the question and enter the alternate wording. This will result in a message that the wording already exists, but will give you the option of recommending a merge." - Quote from GreatBigBore on the discussion page for this question

When you asked this question, the message boards were down. They still are actually (54 minutes later) it was submitted as a priority one bug. As a wise old supervisor said "Well let's use this time to do what we should, answer questions!!"


Why do you get a signal that you have a New Message but when you click on it no new message actually showed up?
