I erroneously flagged this question as duplicate.

While I was searching how to undo that, I noticed the question became closed as duplicate, but singlehandedly by community with no other user names listed, such as myself.

marked as duplicate by Community♦ 11 hours ago

What does that mean? And why did it happen? Can I still remove the duplicate flag?

This is a relatively new feature, in which the OP has the ability to agree with a duplicate close vote.

If they do, the question is then closed immediately by Community.

Given that the user actually agreed with the duplicate, I don't see the need to revert your flag. Of course, if you or others feel that it was in error, then you're welcome to cast a reopen vote. It'll make its way through the reopen queue, where a few others will hopefully agree with your reopen vote.

    I believe the OP may have done that in error or frustration. The duplicate is clearly the opposite of what they were asking for. I voted to reopen. (not that it's a particularly great question anyway). – Matt Burland Mar 10 '15 at 20:21
  • You've done your part, then. It'll make its way back into the reopen queue, and hopefully be reopened. – Makoto Mar 10 '15 at 20:22

    It was my mistake to mark it as duplicate in the first place, as @MattBurland said. unfortunately I believe I can't cast a reopen vote yet. – U r s u s Mar 10 '15 at 20:24
  • Btw, this was also posted as a separate discussion. – nicael Mar 10 '15 at 20:50
  • from now, gold badge owners can always leave that original question, and add a more accurate one using the "edit" feature to add more than 1 original question, making the links more complete. – Jean-François Fabre Sep 10 '17 at 8:45
