December FAQ Scrub

We've just passed 6 months of open beta, and we've been developing like madmen and madwomen, so there are a bunch of cases where our FAQs are out of date or there are new features that aren't documented anywhere but in code tours/news posts.

This/next week, I am making it my project to:

a). go through every single FAQ on the site to identify things that need to be updated (wrong limits, feature enhancements, etc)
b). write new FAQs for all completely-new features that aren't yet documented.

This is not so much to ask for help -- it's the kind of full-on scrub that I think is best done by a single person to make sure things don't fall through the cracks -- but it is a request for pointers! What things have you noticed that aren't documented/are underdocumented? (For instance, sticky entries aren't really well-documented at all, etc.) I'll be making my own list, and going through past code tours, but I never remember everything our site can do and could use a hand :)

http://www.dreamwidth.org/support/faqbrowse?faqid=179 is one of only two FAQs which documents usescheme, and it does not document it correctly per the conversation here http://www.dreamwidth.org/support/see_request?id=3887

To whit, You could choose to show your entries in the site scheme instead of the custom comment page. You can do this by adding &usescheme=celerity to the end of an unargumented URL under Incomplete entries in Drifting style is wrong. The correct syntax is ?style=site&usescheme=celerity, or the entry will continue to show in the journal style.
