I created the Wiki FAQ last night after reading the original post in this thread, and based on the discussion that Capt'n Corrupt started yesterday:
N810 and the Wiki: reducing redundant threads

I stayed up waaaay past my bedtime to create a basic structure and answer a few questions to get things started. (If anyone has a better structure or format the fix is easy... edit it. It may need revising eventually anyway if it gets too large.) And since I was on a roll, I also added a new article to the Wiki

So before you all went on and on in this thread about needing a FAQ in the Wiki, there was already a thread about it and the FAQ was already started. (Which you would have known if you had done a basic search before posting about how badly a FAQ needed.)

For all the talk about how a Wiki FAQ is the answer, only Red actually looked at the Wiki and perhaps gave a thought to starting it. And THAT is the reason these things usually fail... lots of talk and no action.

So here's your chance to prove me wrong. Add something to the FAQ. If you don't have the answers yourself, do a search to find a post with a good answer and simply link to that post. Or even just edit my answers if you can improve on them. I'd just like to see some of these complainers do SOMETHING to help themselves instead of relying on those who do all the helping already. And don't say you don't know how to edit a Wiki... I had never done it before last night either. I just did a little research and reading before starting.

And for those same people, who have probably read but ignored my .sig, a few days ago I created a custom search engine at Google for ITT, with some refinement terms. Try it. It works quite well... better than the ITT one in some ways. It may help you find the answer you need in order to create your first FAQ item.
