I can vote to close any question, as well as reopen any question. I presume this is because no one on the site has more than 3,000+ reputation.

However, there are users with 2,000+ reputation, meaning I have privileges to close and reopen a question, but I don't have the edit privilege. I thought that closure was a privilege that came after editing.

Is this intended, or an oversight?

Note that I can also review in the Close votes Queue, and the Reopen votes Queue, but not the suggested edits queue.

Have a look at the privileges page, and you'll notice that all the rep thresholds are artificially lowered, while the site is in private beta. Particularly, here's where the two relevant privilege thresholds lie:

    Thanks for your answer! Specifically though, shouldn't they be swapped? Closing and reopening, in my mind, are harder to use privileges than editing. But if it's not a bug, that's okay with me.

  • I would say they're deliberately swapped, given that this phase is where y'all are defining what's on- and off-topic, and as such there's likely to be a lot more fast closing and reopening happening.
