Hi! Sigma here, one of the documentation co-leads along with [Mithical](https://meta.codidact.com/users/8082). 

These are some great ideas. I agree with the overall sentiment that our Help pages could use some love. We face a bit of a challenge, where we have some topics that overlap between general Codidact "how-to" and community-specific details. For example, there are general principles that inform how to write a good post across communities... but a given community will have additional guidelines about how to write a successful post _for that community_. We've tried to create general templates for fledgling communities, but sometimes end up merely being vague. A separation across the categories mentioned above might help us avoid the flaw of trying to do too much at once. 

Meanwhile, you are all welcome to contribute to the help documentation we do have. User Help currently lives [on Github](https://github.com/codidact/docs/tree/master/User-Help). As the Codidact platform continues to evolve we will need your help to catch help topics that are incomplete or out-of-date.
