What help pages need to be written?
I've been working on the user help center recently - writing new help pages and improving old ones. You can see the latest changes and suggestions - even the ones that haven't been deployed to the site yet - over on GitHub.
Of course, though, I'm not going to be able to come up with everything - there will be things that need help pages that I'm not going to think of on my own. With that in mind... what help center topics would you like to see?
Feel free to leave suggestions in the answers below; I'll look through the responses and see what I can do (and I'll be updating the to-do list).

I wondered what the scope of the Linux Systems site was. So I went to the help center. There's no obvious page in there that explains what this site is. For instance, is this site accepting questions about programming on Linux? Instead, the limited information that exists, is hidden under "FAQ", which is confusing.
Another example: on Software CD, under FAQ, all we find about the site's scope, is this:
Software Development is about all aspects of creating software -- programming, design, architecture, testing, tools, and more
That's not nearly specific enough.
Every community should have an entry into the help center, detailing specifically what this site is about, and how it's different from the other sites.
Even though there's limited information under the FAQ, these pages aren't even uniform across the sites. For example, on Meta Codidact, it's under "Codidact Meta FAQ", not "FAQ". It also doesn't help that Meta CD has the "Guidance" and "Site information" boxes flipped from all the other communities.
