<p>The official FAQ is intentionally minimal and concerned with how the site works.  In comments, we often point to questions on this meta site for guidelines, etc.  Taking a page from the SO/meta-SO book, perhaps we can take this a step further using the tags &quot;faq&quot; and &quot;faq-proposed&quot; to build a community FAQ.  See the following link:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/7931/how-does-stack-overflow-work-the-official-faq">FAQ for Stack Overflow, Server Fault, and Super User</a></li>
</ul>
<p>The general process is to tag a question as &quot;proposed-faq&quot;.  If it evolves to an acceptable point, mark it community wiki, usually with a CW answer which is a synthesis of other answers rising to the top through voting.  Then change the tag to &quot;faq&quot; and place a link in the &quot;master faq&quot; question.</p>
<p>For details, please see the section &quot;How should a question be added to this FAQ&quot; at the link above.</p>
<p>As examples, some questions that might be considered for this category include:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><a href="https://stats.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/589/what-should-the-guide-be-for-editing-questions-answers-and-responses">What should the guide be for editing questions, answers, and responses?</a></p>
</li>
<li><p><a href="https://stats.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/12/how-should-we-deal-with-obvious-homework-questions">How should we deal with obvious homework questions</a></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Should we start doing something similar?  Does the process outlined on the meta-SO FAQ meet your approval?  Other thoughts, suggestions?</p>
