When I look at the FAQ on other SE sites, there does appear to be some additional questions or information, but the basic foundation, including this specific scenario, is exactly the same. As moderators, we do not have the ability to edit the FAQ, but I'm sure if you ask nicely, someone who works for SE could do so. | |
