I think we should remove the second question, although that's up for debate. No, we can't just remove that second question just because the issue like that and I don't think TULO's plan worked because not only it makes it confusing, but also it caused even more inconsistency for those promotion threads before the removal of the question "How would these rights benefit the user?".

Note that the PromotionSupport template '''firstly and originally had the two questions "How would this user benefit the wiki?" and "How would these rights benefit the user?"''', making promotion threads before November 4, 2016 (aka, the day of the removal of the "second question") only display the "first question" and not both of the questions that were required before that date.

My suggestion to those issues: Therefore, in order to solve that "missing second question" issue on promotion threads before the removal of the "second question" and at the same time solve the "disqualified supports" inconsistency for those promotion threads between "November 4, 2016‎" to "April 13, 2017" (again, following the UTC timezone):
 * Use the revision of the PromotionSupport template with the two questions; "How would this user benefit the wiki?" and "How did this user benefit the wiki before requesting for these rights?"
 * For those promotion threads between "November 4, 2016‎" to "April 13, 2017", replace the affected PromotionSupport (and similar) templates with completely different templates the contain just one question, "How would this user benefit the wiki?". Those "completely different templates" should have names that makes it hard to access for an average user to use for the purpose of the consistency for those promotion threads between the mentioned dates.

It would take some time to accomplish the latter, but these will solve both consistencies of the functions of the templates and the "wiki history".

Side Note: I'm currently in some place where internet is pretty much limited and the tablet I been using is so bad, I had to be lucky enough to use the laptop to make this message because I'm not the only one who's going to use it and it's the only one so far there.
