A couple times this past week, two nodes with the same question have been posted by the same person (typically a level 1 or AM) to both the SoPW and the Q&A sections of PM. Obviously, there's not much we do about that beyond having more 'warning' for where certain posts should go prior to people posting them.

Typically, one of the duplicated posts will go into Nodes to Consider, as expected, but unless I click on it and visit that node, I can't see a way to detemine which section that node came from. Those that add nodes to NtC could explain what section that it is in, but it would make more sense to have an automated solution. Would it be reasonable to add a brief line that says what section a NtC was posted under as to help in cases like this?
