I'm always confused about "Guidelines" and "FAQ". It seems that whenever I have a question about HN, I need to consult both, because it is not clear at all which site covers which question.

Maybe "Guidelines" and "FAQ" should simply be merged?

Edit: Opened an "Ask HN" submission about this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15255270

I think Meta Ask HNs are also discouraged :) you're supposed to send them an email.

I understand what you're saying. There's the Show HN guidelines as well. One could imagine them all as three sections on one page. The guidelines are for what you should do; the FAQ for general information. Then again, they're short. It's not a lot of effort to check both.
