Get a [faq] tag, mods!

This applies on all meta sites, so hear me out. It would actually be nice if we had a new moderator tag in Codidact called faq. What's the purpose? Somewhere Else has this tag on their meta sites...

Does Codidact want to silence its users as SE does?

Sign up to answer this question but no sign in

When signed out and viewing a question, there is a "Sign up to answer this question" button. However, there is no "Sign in to answer this question" button, which I think should be added for parity.
