One problem with this is naming, as usual. Think about it. Having twenty different wordings for help with the same issue is common with virtually every single help forum on the planet. The best methods, so far, is to have stickied posts dealing with fixes for the most common problems. Most people are used to looking for an faq and for answers to the most common problems, regardless that most software companies utilize their best immediate resource for simply telling a user to make sure something is plugged in or installed.

The biggest problem is the lack of being able to lock the most common problem threads as sort of an faq, making it a lot easier to search through. Help me is a common problem, completely devoid of any beneficial information, clarification, and classification in the header. Yet buried within just such a query could be the answer. So in part, it might need to be manufactured, much like the board itself is. In this way, searching would be a lot simpler as relative information would be contained in the header.

Then again, the wiki threads contain a bugs sections which typically handles most of the commonly known bugs. There have been times when bugs have occurred that have not been addressed within the bugs sections. Having a place for these posting in order to get others involved with helping to determine the actual cause of the problem would be better than just having to answer the same question over and over again.

A good example of this would be the third quest for the blessing of mara (if I recall correctly). You have to help search for the female ghost's husband (also a ghost). First time through two dragons attacked, go figure. Each time I removed the amulet of mara to kill the dragon. After reaching the husband, I could not interact with him whatsoever. Not knowing if it was a result of the amulet removal,the second dragon attacking the husband, or some other thing I just reloaded and reran the quest. Yes, this fixed it for me, but I was already used to maintaining multiple saves in order to revert due to a bug. Others might not, or also like me, might get hit with an unmentioned bug and not notice until well after the fact - levels upon levels down the road.

Just bringing it up since it is relevent to the topic at hand...
