What should I do when the answer of a (closed) question is added to the question itself?

The community consensus is that answers that are edited in questions should be rolled back, and placed into a community wiki answer.

I'm asking about closed questions. I'm sure in this case the answer-in-question should be edited out, too. But answers can't be added to closed questions. Knowing this, what should I do?

  • Just edit it out and do nothing else. Since the question is closed, the roomba should take care of it anyway (Doesn't really apply to duplicates or questions that have other, unnaccepted but upvoted answers);
  • If closed as a duplicate, add the community wiki answer to the duplicate target (May work, or may not: The answer may be too specific for the duplicate target);
  • Leave it there. Again, the roomba will take care of it anyway;
  • Some other option I didn't think about.
