# Editing MathJax in a question which will probably be closed

I just edited a lot of MathJax in this question, then voted to close it. Was that a stupid thing to do?

Is there any point in editing MathJax in a question that will inevitably be closed?

• Depends on what else you would do with the time spent editing. If the alternative is watching a daytime TV show, then by all means LaTeXify. If it is answering a worthy unanswered question, they I think it's better to do that instead. – 40 votes Jul 16 '13 at 14:47
• @40votes: How would you compare LaTeXifying soon-to-be-closed posts and grading homework papers? – Asaf Karagila Jul 16 '13 at 15:33
• @AsafKaragila I'd go with LaTeXifying. And stamping the M.SE URL on papers to increase the traffic. – 40 votes Jul 16 '13 at 15:36
• @40votes: My students already visit the site on a fairly regular basis. They often complained that whenever they would search something relevant to the class, they'd see my name coming up in MO or MSE contexts. – Asaf Karagila Jul 16 '13 at 15:37
