What is the best practice in case I want to suggest a new FAQ entry. Asking here or a straight PR?

What topic did you have in mind? At one point I’d like to experiment with wiki posts on this site as well.

I noticed some recently recurring questions from reddit users. I think sharing a link to the FAQ will come in handy just as linking to a section of the manual. Trust level 3 is needed for wiki editing rights, and level 3 needs 100 days. I suppose that will be possible in early September.

You mean creating wiki posts here on discourse or the GitHub FAQ repository? [image] What is a Wiki Post? What is a wiki post? This very post is a wiki post. A wiki post/admin wiki post is a special type of post that can be edited by any user on your forum. How do I create (or remove) …

Last week this was asked almost daily (even tough a quick google solves the problem). I guess a new FAQ entry adressing this…

.28 only offers a single choice if one side is empty, which should make it impossible to make a mistake.

Nice to know. In this case then the recomendation should just be upgrading to .28 once it is stable released.
