Look ma! A FAQ!

Thanks to the hard work of the FAQ team, the FAQ is now at a stage that's close to "completion". I use the scare quotes deliberately, because it's not anywhere near completion, and there's still a whole lot that needs adding and what have you. What's there at this point is pretty stable though, so I'm saying that we've now reached FAQ 1.0.

If you have time, go take a look at the FAQ and comment here to let me know what you think. We've done our best to make the FAQ clear and easy to read and to navigate, and I'd be especially interested to know how you think we've done with that. I'd like to know what you think we've got right, and I'd also like to hear any constructive criticism you have on things that you think we've got wrong.

This is also the place to comment if you find any typos or factual inaccuracies in the FAQ. We've had at least two pairs of eyes looking over every FAQ to try to cut down on errors, but it's inevitable that some will have slipped in. If you find any, comment here, and we'll get them fixed when we get a chance.

In http://www.dreamwidth.org/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=47:

You can set the comment security level for each individual entry when you post it. You can make an entry where comments are not allowed, even if you have commenting turned on in general. When you're posting an entry, change the Allow comments? setting to Disabled. If you have commenting turned off in your journal, you can't set one entry to allow comments.

This is a bit confusing because the first sentence doesn't apply in all cases so it looks like we're said contradictory things. What about going straight to the point?

If you have commenting turned on in general, even with restrictions, you can still make entries where comments are not allowed. When you're posting... However, if you have commenting completely turned off in your journal,...

Another suggestion: could FAQ titles when viewed via ?faqcat be turned into links to each individual FAQs?
