Needs more focus
This question currently includes multiple questions in one. It should focus on one problem only.

This wording is very problematic. I assume it was changed with this set of updates, though it could be that I just hadn't noticed until now.

This close reason is not only about posts that ask multiple questions. It is also about questions that are too broad and which it is unreasonable to expect to be answered in the SE Q&A format. For example:

  • How has the USA's foreign relations changed since independence from the UK?
  • What steps do you need to take to establish a TLS 1.3 connection?
  • What is the Catholic Church's understanding of Mary?

I'mI remember that SE used to have the explanation that "too broad" could entail "it would take an entire book to answer". I don't remember if that explanation was in the dialogs or not, but it would be worth considering bringing back now.
