Get a [faq] tag, mods!

+1
−6

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 too, and it basically applies if the question is considered "frequently-asked" by users around the network. Strangely enough, Codidact doesn't have a FAQ tag at all, and it'd really help if we get such mod tag.

Where does the tag apply?

Like I said already, the tag is applied on questions considered "frequently-asked". An example is this popular question.

With those settled, can we have the moderator-only tag faq?

FAQ seems a strange tag for Q&A
Trilarion‭ wrote over 2 years ago

FAQ within a Q&A system does not carry much meaning beyond (we expect many duplicates). Maybe choose a different name, something like "canonical" maybe, to indicate that this Q&A is very important and likely to represent consensus views that are likely to remain that way for a longer time.
