Jul 9, 2013 at 15:38 comment added Tim Post Staff @ScottMorrison Ideally, we disseminate the existing FAQ into the various topics (what to ask, what not to ask, etc), then create special pages for you as needed for the rest of the content that's unique to the site. If you want to work out an outline of how you'd like that set up - we can get it into place

Jul 9, 2013 at 15:36 comment added Kim Morrison Mod I've also put the three missing pages up at tea.mathoverflow.net/faq.html, tea.mathoverflow.net/howtoask.html, and tea.mathoverflow.net/tips.html, just so everyone can see what we used to have. We're working on ways to incorporate this back into the help center.
Jul 9, 2013 at 15:17 comment added Kim Morrison Mod I just did a text dump of the old FAQ into mathoverflow.net/help/on-topic.
Jul 9, 2013 at 15:14 comment added user9072 In comments this was already mentioned in occassion. Relatedly, it might also be good to recosinder the description 'for mathematicians' of the site. However, this might be a different discussion.

Jul 9, 2013 at 13:11 comment added Willie Wong Huh, whatever happened to our old FAQ page? When MSE converted to the new help center the first section of the FAQ was automatically imported as the "on-topic" page. Perhaps the same can be done here too? (I'm retagging as bug since I consider not having a useful "on-topic" page to be one.)
Jul 9, 2013 at 13:09 comment added user35354 The /help/on-topic page is moderator-editable, the /help/dont-ask page is not.
