I maintain a FAQ mostly for things over which I have no control,

Each question comes from a user's comment somewhere, and I often link back to it when answering new questions. I'd be interested to hear if people would prefer a different format or different wording.
- jaclaz 5y agoYep, but those are actually Frequently Asked Questions, what I cannot bear is the use of FAQ (and their page) on a brand new site, where there has not been time enough for any "real" question to have been asked by the user. It is only a (poor) literary form and since they are (mostly) prefabricated, they are either unneeded/duplicated (as the topic is properly explained in the main site/docs) or actually showing that the original text/docs/instructions are not clear enough (and since the Author has control on those, they could be rewritten/amended/corrected to make them more clear). And - more correctly - they should be FGA's: https://web.archive.org/web/20201231033026/https://jdebp.eu/FGA/ https://web.archive.org/web/20201231033026/https://jdebp.eu/... https://web.archive.org/web/20201231033031/https://jdebp.eu/FGA/fga-not-faq.html https://web.archive.org/web/20201231033031/https://jdebp.eu/...
