A Metafrage is in particular reluctantly a kind seen in topic-referred of inquiring assistance to problems. Strictly taken a Metafrage is only one question over a question. Thus for example: "“I may ask Usually the term will become however generalized and with Metafragen all questions designated, which are not a direct question for the problem of the assistance-looking for. The assistance-looking for thus first generally asks whether someone can help. Straight beginners or inexperienced users let themselves be hinreissen to Metafragen, in order to find a competent and helpful partner. Metafragen are mostly ignored or the asking point out that nobody can help it for its problem, without knowing this.

Examples

• Can someone help
• Who wants
• Does someone know itself with computers
• Can someone help me with ftp
• Here does someone have notion of
• Is here coincidentally who, which can help me with

Another frequently gladly not seen question is:

• Is someone

It does not concern a Metafrage strictly speaking, if the only goal of the asking is, to find out whether someone is present. Mostly however the asking uses this question only as introduction for its actual question, with which she likewise falls under the category Metafragen.

Summary

Metafragen are reluctantly seen, because they do not serve a purpose:

• The present ones could possibly help for the problem, although they (possibly from modesty) would not state from itself, to be with the topic trust.
• Often the Metafrage is is formulated wrong, e.g. asked "“knows itself someone with cooking out"” and it wants to only know whether Mangos are edible
• Even if someone is familiar with the inquired topic, this does not mean that he can answer a special question to this - nobody is all-knowing.
