1. A long time ago, I opened Original language detection overaggressively asserted `No` was Spanish #50241
2. Today, I'm fixing all of my links from https://github.com/orgs/community/ to https://github.com/community/community/ to make them pretty
3. I realized that Original language detection overaggressively asserted `No` was Spanish #50241 was a duplicate of
   https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/4373
4. So I tried to make a comment marking it as a duplicate and closing the item
5. But that left the item as unanswered, so I clicked the [mark as answer] button next to my comment that had marked it as a duplicate and that removed the duplicate status.

More or less, an item being marked as a duplicate is answered by the act of marking it as a duplicate. It shouldn't be seen as unanswered...

Note that you can't mark a different item as the answer when one is already selected, I had to unmark an answer and then mark another (I did that shortly before this mess).
