I am excited and interested in us using this to build our users guide and helping new people to the project. MarkDilley


Also, I was thinking that Help:FrequentlyAskedQuestions might be better, after seeing it in the MediaWikiMeta wiki. MarkDilley

Fine with me. We ought to add the Help namespace to the Namespace Conventions page. TedErnst | talk 15:38, 24 Jan 2006 (EST)

Discussion board?

With reference to this revert, is the intent that this be an anything-goes discussion board, that includes questions from years ago that only a few people cared about even back then; or are we going to strive to make the name of the page "FrequentlyAskedQuestions" actually be an accurate description of what the page contains? A FAQ is normally supposed to express the consensus of the site rather than the opinions of particular users responding to questions as they see fit, since people typically go to FAQs in search of authoritative answers. The idea is that since the questions are frequently asked, we make an extra effort to make sure that the answers are correct, since it's information that a lot of people are looking for. Also, the excess clutter should be removed to make it easier for people to find the info they're looking for. Leucosticte (talk) 07:28, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
