Editing FAQ (section)

==Modern developments==

=== Non-traditional FAQs ===
In some cases, informative documents not in the traditional FAQ style have also been described as FAQs, particularly the [[videogame|video game]] FAQ, which is often a detailed description of gameplay, including tips, secrets, and beginning-to-end guidance.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2010-09-09-what-the-faq-article|title=What the FAQ?|last=Teti|first=John|date=9 September 2010|work=[[Eurogamer]]|publisher=Gamer Network|access-date=21 July 2014|archive-date=22 July 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140722051854/http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2010-09-09-what-the-faq-article|url-status=live}}</ref> Rarely are videogame FAQs in a question-and-answer format, although they may contain a short section of questions and answers.{{citation needed|date=February 2012}}

Over time, the accumulated FAQs across all Usenet newsgroups sparked the creation of the "*.answers" moderated newsgroups such as comp.answers, misc.answers and sci.answers for [[crossposting]] and collecting FAQ across respective comp.*, misc.*, sci.* newsgroups.

=== In web design ===
The FAQ has become an important component of websites, either as a stand-alone page or as a website section with multiple subpages per question or topic. Embedded links to FAQ pages have become commonplace in website navigation bars, bodies, or footers. The FAQ page is an important consideration in web design, in order to achieve several goals of customer service and [[search engine optimization]] (SEO), including

* reducing the workload of in-person customer service employees
* improving site navigation
* increasing the visibility of the website by matching/optimizing for specific search terms
* linking to or integrating within product pages.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Kumar|first=Braveen|date=Aug 3, 2016|title=The Benefits of an FAQ Page (And How to Do It Right)|url=https://www.shopify.com/blog/120928069-how-to-create-faq-page|access-date=February 16, 2019|website=Shopify|archive-date=February 17, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190217113824/https://www.shopify.com/blog/120928069-how-to-create-faq-page|url-status=live}}</ref>
