-<onlyinclude>A '''prompt''' is a request for additional information given by a [[moderator]] to a [[player]] whose [[answer]] to a [[question]] is not ruled sufficiently [[correct]] to receive points but has been deemed "close enough" by the [[writer]]. Receiving a prompt allows a player an opportunity to give an additional answer. A player may receive multiple successive prompts ("prompt-chaining").</onlyinclude>
+#REDIRECT[[Prompt]]
-The set of answers which warrant a prompt is enumerated in the [[answerline]] alongside the acceptable answers.
-The most common reason for a prompt is that a player has answered with a superset of the correct answer. For example, a question on "the '''<u>second Punic War</u>'''" would prompt on "the ''Punic War''s".
-==Philosophy==
-Prompts are a recognition that questions are not typically written precisely enough to allow only a single correct answer (or set of answers).
