This article maps full FAQ wordings to one-line paraphrasings that can be used consistently throughout the wiki - see also Project:Policies#Referencing_the_FAQ.

When creating a paraphrasing:

  • cut out code unless it's essential to the question and reduce multi-line blocks to single-line
  • format code within <code></code> tags
  • ensure that it fits on a single line for reasonable display widths.
