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).

Before After

    • 1.1. Do I need to be an OpenStreetMap expert to use it?
    • 1.2. I am unsure how to answer some quest, what to do?

    • 1.4. How can I hide a type of quest?
    • 1.5. I made a mistake. What do I do?

    • 1.9. Why does the house number quest not appear?
    • 1.10. Why are quests for a single object shown in a different order than the one I configured?
      • 1.10.1. Only eligible quests are shown

    • 1.15. I'm missing the "OK" button when solving a quest! Where is it?
    • 1.16. How can I use StreetComplete on Apple devices?
    • 1.17. Can I choose photos from the gallery for uploading to notes, instead of using camera?
    • 1.18. When I click on quest, several similar icons pop up, why?
    • 1.19. I want to setup different groups of enabled quest, and select them depending on kind of trip I'm taking; is this possible?

    • 1.23. The original US English text is confusing or incorrect, what can I do about it?
    • 1.24. A changeset made with StreetComplete covers a massive area, why is this? How can it be prevented?

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)
