Updating the FAQ
This recent comment got me thinking.
As a side note, I think that having unwritten rules, undocumented common practices, rules based on some old posts on meta, and generally speaking any rule that is not explicitly explained in the help center, is a problematic practice. There should be a way to have some clear information about these things, both for new members, or even more experienced ones that are not always present on the site and do not partecipate much in chat and meta. – Sekhemty
Now we can't do much outside of meta and I'm not sure what parts of the help centre the mods can customise; and to an extent how much that should be customised. However, the faq seems somewhat out of date and there isn't really a collection of meta policies anywhere. I think it would be helpful to have one main post that links to our policies and we keep that up to date.
How do we do this?
One post linking policies?
Keeping the faq up to date?
Update the help centre pages?
All/none of the above?
What needs including in the post?
What's missing?
What policies should be there?
Any helpful guides there too? Story id guides, etc.
