Research direction
Look at the views AnswerQuestionView, CloseQuestionView, and ParentVoteView in the django qa codebase. They currently likely use manual form handling. Replace with Django Forms and FormViews following Django's generic editing views pattern. Check the existing code and any related PRs or comments for guidance.
