As such, I decided to only take into consideration questions that have not been deleted as of this time. <sup>3</sup> Missing 7 users because these were deleted users, or users who didn’t have an account here an whose question was migrated here, etc. <sup>4</sup> Percentages aren't exactly 100% due to rounding. <sup>5</sup> See [this Meta post][1] for more info on what abandoned, abandoned closed and dead questions are. <sup>6</sup> "Total" here meaning the 310 deleted questions that were a user's first post, tagged only with [tag:identification-request]. <sup>7</sup> Removed along with a user who had been just created to post that question, but then self-deleted their account. <sup>8</sup> The informed badge is earned when users scroll through the [tour page][2]. Used here to try to understand how many of these users have actually tried to find out how our site works before asking a question. For reference, 684 (8.3%) of our total users have this badge — which means those users actually don't fall too far from the overall average.
