I voted to close a questiona question today. Nothing new, except the closure turned into an unwanted migration. The question should NOT have been migrated, but all of a sudden my name was on it:

Closed, migrated and rejected

I voted to close as off-topic because it was broken. However, the question was unfit for Stack Overflow so I didn't vote for migration. However, it shows up like it did and I got called out on it. At the time, I had no idea why one might think I had migrated it, except the guys at SO didn't know any better:

@Mast I didn't know that you didn't vote for migration; I just saw migrated to stackoverflow.com by forsvarir, Mathias Ettinger, Mast, Graipher, Jamal♦ 26 mins ago. – Antti Haapala

That's not helpful. The users who closed the question are already mentioned in the revision history. There's no reason why they should be mentioned as migration instigators if they didn't.
