While reviewing first posts, I got to review [this question](https://askubuntu.com/questions/1188032/why-do-some-applications-have-files-with-no-extension) about why some files do not have extensions.

From the screenshot provided, it was clear to me that the OP was using Windows 10. Furthermore, the circled files (e.g COPYING, CREDITS, FAQ, README) usually have a .txt, .log or .md extension, which aren't shown in Windows if the *Hide extensions for known file types* option is not disabled in the Windows File Manager options.

So I flagged the question as off-topic, but then I was told that this was an audit and I failed, because this was a highly voted question! Indeed, the question is highly voted (12 upvotes/0 downvotes as of now) and has three high-quality answers (one with 30 upvotes as of now).

Now, I'm pretty confident that the absence of extensions is due to the Windows setting that I mention above. But, since the question is highly voted and the answers are pretty good (although referring to the Linux case of lack of extensions), I'm not sure how this should be handled. Should it be flagged as off-topic and closed, should it be edited to make sure that it refers to the Linux case, should there also be an answer about the Windows setting, or something else that I'm not aware that can be done?

P.S. For the audit part, I think that it is an unfortunate coincidence, because the question was indeed highly voted.
