Broken workflow: Undelete before edit [duplicate]

$

I have deleted a question of mine because I thought the information given is not complete enough.

Now I was trying to edit the question to make it better, but it says:

You cannot edit your own deleted question. Undelete before editing.Screenshot

Shall I really make a bad question visible and risk downvotes and closing while editing the question into a better shape? I am tempted to post a new question instead, because this gives me unlimited time for research and formatting. However, it seems I can't even access the markdown source of the original question while the question is deleted.

Sure, I could start a new question, and just before posting, cut the markdown, undelete the original question, edit, paste and save. But is that really what we want people to do?

If I recall correctly, I can post a crappy answer and edit it while it's deleted. Why not for questions?
