Correct way to make a non-question post if possible

Question

I worked on a document which did not ask a specific question but was related to 3.x and Pathfinder, it was a collection of useful articles are various topics, usually related to classes. It was deleted (then put on hold) because it either wasn't clear enough or was not specifically asking for a question. When I joined the site I thought I saw an post which was a document about creating undead and it being an evil act and it turns out that what I remembered was actually an answer and not the original post.

So would the correct way to go about creating a collection of useful material for users be to ask it as a question and then provide my own solution, or is this just something I should not be doing?

Answer 1

We're a site which answers questions. If you have useful material to blog about, you should start a blog. The research you're doing is valuable, just... not here.

There are questions looking for documentation like: Are the WotC archives of d20 Character Optimization forum forever lost?

But every question must pose a specific problem that can have a singular, best, answer. The best sort of resource there is a forum. We've tried to maintain a glossary in the past and... it didn't age well.

My recommendation is, if you're going to start a competitor to the handbook indexes, compile it in google docs, share it, and then use it as a linked resource to questions that pose a problem it can answer.
