To provide a bit more detail, I think all we need is...
An extra check item in the "Checks" list, something like: "This is not a duplicate of an existing issue (please have a look through our open issues list to make sure)"
Move the checks list directly above the "Describe your suggestion" input so we prompt people to check for duplicates before they put a lot of effort into the issue.
Describe your suggestion
When links go down, especially in Foundations, we get flooded with several duplicate issues about the same thing. The most recent example - https://github.com/TheOdinProject/curriculum/issues/26753
