Feature Request: Featured Question(s)
TappedOut forum

Could you consider adding a feature like "Featured Question(s)" to appear as examples on the new MTG Q&A "ask a question" page? You could format it to suggest them as example questions, but use examples from questions that have been asked a lot recently, like "Does hybrid mana count for devotion twice?" It would seem less onerous than a pages-long FAQ and you could push two or three well-answered questions forward as examples. You'd probably only need to update it roughly every other month.
Well, it's just a thought. I personally would ask things less frequently if it were easier to search the MTG Q&A, though I'm not sure if most users think like this. I have been using google, like thus, searching for my question about aladdin from awhile back.
Anyway, thank you for providing this site :)

Haha, I'm not sure if that would work out that way- if you read the questions, you'll see often they're answered by the Oracle rulings posted on the Gatherer. I think it's probable most people that ask questions don't try real hard to find an answer before posting, that's why I had suggested putting a couple on that page there.
It might create an interesting information "cloud" if you cross-linked each question that referenced a given card on the card's page, but I'm not sure it would work as a way to find answers (particularly as questions are often directed at a mechanic or rule rather than a specific card). It would work as a potential way to think of different uses for the card, which is why I find it interesting.

I want to start publishing questions on the actual card page.... its not done yet. was hoping maybe people would browse to the cards page to look for the answer first?
