Talk:StreetComplete/FAQ

Reorder / restructure FAQ entries

I don't find the distinction between "User related" and "Technical" very helpful or clear. Also, finding relevant questions is much easier when they are grouped by a more specific topic and each topic only contains a handful of questions. I suggest to change the structure to this one (note that the numbers are only for easier referencing here, they should not be part of the wiki page later).

Sounds like a nice improvement to me, @Flo2154:! --mnalis (talk) 18:59, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

"several other objects get highlighted"

Is it really frequently asked? I would consider not listing every single question that got asked at issue tracker Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 05:23, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
