Why is the wrong answer given to Wheel of Fortune today or yesterday or tonight questions?

Answer 1

When you ask a question Wiki Answers will search for the question and try to match it with questions already answered. If your question uses last night, today, yesterday, or tonight for a date then questions that have been answered will not provide you with the information you are seeking. They will instead give the answer that was right for the day when the question was answered. (These answers are being removed.)

If you need to determine what happened on a certain day and you don't want WikiAnswers to search for questions and answers for any other day your question should contain the day, month and year of the event you are seeking. Wheel of Fortune bonus puzzle questions that contain one of those words instead of an actual date are merged into this question so you will know the question needs to be asked again with an actual date. Some questions are merged into "can you use a day month and year date when asking Wheel of Fortune Bonus puzzle answers" because they have not identified a complete date and are not a valid alternate to this question. This and the related question and answer exist so that when a match happens to one of the many alternates a person will not get an out of date answer from the question that was asked and answered earlier.
