#I have a completely different suggestion. What about rewording the banner to something like > This is not about Ubuntu. > Please visit our [off-topic compass] to find out on which partner site in the Stack Exchange network your problem might fit best. And then create a nice community-wiki site here on *meta.askubuntu.com* which looks like this: > ##Q: My question was marked as off-topic, where should I ask it instead? > You posted a question here and excitedly waited for an answer, but received a close banner like this? >  > Read through the answers below to find out where your question would fit best! --- > ##A: Unix & Linux > Every question about any UNIX or Linux based system is allowed here. > However, if you use for example Ubuntu, ElementaryOS, OSX or Android, there are specialized sites for them, where you can get more specific answers. --- > ##A: Stack Overflow > All general programming questions should be asked here. > If you have working code and just look for optimizations, you're better of at Code Review though. --- > ##A: Super User > This is the most general site all about computers and related stuff. Every operating system is welcome, and so are hardware problems. --- ... and so on, one answer for each possibly related site.
